Abstract

We present a simple but effective method to measure the pressure inside a deformable microchannel using laser scattering in a translucent Scotch tape. Our idea exploits the fact that the speckle pattern generated by a turbid layer is sensitive to the changes in the optical wavefront of an impinging beam. A change in the internal pressure of a channel deforms the elastic channel, which can be detected by measuring the speckle patterns of a coherent laser beam that has passed through the channel and the Scotch tape. We demonstrate that with a proper calibration, internal pressure can be remotely sensed with the resolution of 0.1 kPa within a pressure range of 0–3 kPa after calibration.
