Buying Optical Strain Sensors
Optical strain sensors, such as those based on fiber Bragg gratings, measure mechanical strain. These sensors can also enable distributed sensing along a long fiber, providing comprehensive strain measurement over large areas.
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.

![]() Bringing light to measurement HBK FiberSensing, S.A.Via José Régio, 256 4485–860 Vilar do Pinheiro Portugal |
The FS62 optical strain sensors of the newLight sensor series are designed to easily retrieve static and dynamic strain measurements for stress analysis in smart materials, machines, components, and other types of structures. With different encapsulations, materials, and attachment methods, they fulfill the requirements of strain measurements for smart materials testing, laboratory, and structural health monitoring (SHM) applications. Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) strain sensors from HBK are available in two configurations: Linear configuration for measuring strain in a single direction. This is the ideal configuration for monitoring or stress analysis on a well-known direction. Rosette configuration, comprising three Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG) on the same fiber and substrate. Measurements are taken in different directions for biaxial stress analysis with a single installation and small footprint. Product-specific web page |

![]() Mlynské luhy 31 821 05 Bratislava Slovakia | ![]() FBG based strain sensors are devices that are commonly used by engineers to measure the effect of external forces on an object. They measure strain directly, which can be used to indirectly determine stress, torque, pressure, deflection, and many other measurements. Product-specific web page |
