This research shows that an enhanced scaling of the ghost image CNR and resolution from that of the hybrid speckle pattern was observed with the increase in speckle size for a macroscopic object, compared with the use of single-size speckle patterns. For microscopic objects, the hybrid speckle pattern also offered the advantage of retrieving ghost images even if the CNR followed the same trend as the resolution. These results were verified using two different slits with the same transmitted area. In addition, the numerical analysis revealed that the interference of the hybrid speckle pattern was the major factor for a better CNR. Based on these findings, the novel hybrid speckle pattern found in this research provides a possible way for future experiments in PGI to regulate hybrid speckle patterns to obtain a better ghost image quality. 4950 https://doi.org/10.3390/photonics10070709$xR$3Volltext$534 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:27-dbt-20230707-115257-003$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://www.db-thueringen.de/receive/dbt_mods_00057755 5051 530 5550 ghost imaging 5550 hybrid speckle pattern 5550 image quality
