Pressure measurements through image analysis

Opt Express. 2009 Sep 28;17(20):17996-8002. doi: 10.1364/OE.17.017996.

Abstract

Here we propose a new optical method, to our knowledge, to measure the pressure in liquids or gases by means of a flexible lens. Images of an object given by the dynamical lens are analyzed, and through the visibility of those images pressure is inferred.
