Buying Optical Displacement Sensors
Optical displacement sensors can be based on interferometry or position-sensitive detectors, offering very high spatial resolution for precise measurement tasks.
Making Good Purchase Decisions
As the most professional photonics purchasing portal, RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers (not limited to our advertisers), but also to make good purchasing decisions.
NEW: Structured Decision Process
Purchasing involves a lot of responsibility. We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.
Our article on best practices for purchasing and another one explaining this tool give you valuable insights.

 Fiber technology to sense the world. Technica Optical Components, LLC3657 Peachtree Rd NE Suite 10A Atlanta, GA 30319 United States See us at Optical Fiber Sensors 29 in Porto, Portugal, May 25–30! |  The T420 is a single-mode fiber (SM) based fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based packaged displacement sensor for use in environments from -20 °C to +60 °C, packaged to eliminate influences from the ambient environment. Ready for direct mounting steel construction exhibiting excellent wavelength to displacement linearity. Product-specific web page |
 Mlynské luhy 31 821 05 Bratislava Slovakia |  FBG based displacement sensors are used to measure the amount of movement that occurs between an object and a reference position. The displacement sensor can be used to measure amplitude to determine the height, thickness, and width of an object in addition to the range of motion. Product-specific web page |
 Bringing light to measurement HBK FiberSensing, S.A.Via José Régio, 256 4485–860 Vilar do Pinheiro Portugal |
Based on the newLight® technology, the FS61DSP displacement sensor is a ruggedized Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor designed to measure linear displacement on different types of structures. The sensor uses two FBGs in a push-pull configuration for effective temperature compensation. It can be used in a large range of monitoring applications, like sustaining walls, bridge piles or buildings. Product-specific web page |
 7639 Cordner Lasalle, Quebec H8N 2X2 Canada See us at OFC 2025 in San Francisco, April 1–3 (booth 6347)! |  A low cost fiber displacement sensor is now available at O/E Land. Based on our patented technology on wide band tunable fiber Bragg gratings, our OEFDS-100 is used to measure the relative movement between two different positions in structures like bridges, big buildings, dams, etc. An optional built-in temperature sensor can be included for monitoring both displacement and temperature simultaneously.
