Benefit from the many new advantages of measuring with light - without having to abandon the ruggedness and convenience of the classical strain gage.HBM's optical strain gages are made from fibers of glass with a very small core diameter of no more than 5 micrometers. In comparison, the diameter of human hair ranges from 60 to 80 micrometers. The fiber core is surrounded by a cladding layer from purest glass with a diameter of 125 micrometers.The optical effect that is used for strain measurement is because of the distance of the reflection points and therefore the wavelength of the reflected light being changed by the induced strain.
