Abstract :
A pneumatic optical medium (POM) sensitive to pressure and temperature due to gaseous voids inside is studied theoretically. The properties of glass, quartz and mica made POM in infrared and visual regions are analyzed. The Kerr type nonlinearity is predicted. Multiscale regimes of pressure and temperature indication are discussed.
