An example of an opto-pneumatic detector's (OPD) frequency transfer fu
nction is presented for the development of an opto-pneumatic interface
, The theoretical model is tested through experiments in the laborator
y on a real OPD prototype, In this way many of the model's parameters
are studied and evaluated, such as the dimensions of the gas chamber,
the thickness of the absorbent body, and the load of the OPD, The resu
lts obtained are good and show the utility of the studies described he
