Optical Strain Measurement Glossary
A useful guide of technical terms to help you understand the precise concepts related to the fundamentals of strain measurement using optical strain sensors.
Optical strain sensors, namely those based on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) technology, have been gaining increased attention particularly in the field of infrastructure monitoring over the past decades. But how does an optical sensor work? How do we compensate for optical losses? How many sensors can be integrated into one single fiber? Our experts dug deep to provide their best answers for you about all the important questions regarding strain measurement using fiber optical sensors.
