The objective of the present work is develop the high resolution pointwise pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) measurements system. The Cassegrain optics and diode laser has been used to satisfy this purpose. This measurement system has high spatial and temporal resolution. The present optics can effectively collect the luminescence emitted from the area within 0.1 mm in diameter. The results obtained by the present system have been compared with those by a conventional pressure transducer in time domains, and the agreement between these results is quite good.
