20120046898 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRESSURE MEASUREMENT USING OPTICAL SENSORS - Embodiments of systems and methods for pressure measurement using optical sensors are disclosed that include a computer processor that executes logic instructions to receive data based on optical signals from an optical sensor. The data represents velocity of the object after being exposed to a first pressure force. The velocity is determined from an unshifted, reference optical signal and a Doppler-shifted optical signal reflected off the object. The pressure force applied to the object is determined based on the velocity of the object. | 02-23-2012 |
