Bringing light to measurement HBK FiberSensing, S.A.Via José Régio, 256 4485–860 Vilar do Pinheiro Portugal |
The newly developed optical sensor line newLight enables large strain measurement ranges at increased long-term stability. It is the ideal choice for structural health monitoring due to its fast and easy installation and its resistance to environmental conditions such as humidity, rust, and salt even over extremely long distances. The compatibility with standard telecom cables makes this line very cost efficient – especially for medium-to-high channel applications. The newLight range is based on the Fiber Bragg Grating technology and offers optical sensors for measurements of strain, temperature, accelerometer, and tilt. In addition to fiber optical sensors that measure strain, temperature, acceleration, tilt or displacement, HBK also offers optical interrogators, software, as well as service and support for every application. |
