Fibera, Inc.
Fibera, Inc. provides fiber optic strain gauge systems for a wide variety of
transportation systems including roads, bridges, and railways thanks to our wide
experience and proven ability in the laser & fiber optics, and static & dynamic
signal processing technologies.
All optical
    Being an optical device, it will not cause electromagnetic interference and its performance is not
    affected by the electromagnetic noise by the surrounding instruments.
Long range
    The monitor station can be located at far distance from the measurement site through optical fiber
    link, therefore ideal for remote monitor applications.

Economical
    Traditional strain gauge is electrical and requires three wires per sensor; multiple gauges are
    connected in parallel. Our fiber optic strain gauge can be connected in Daisy chain, therefore
    much lower cost.

Easy installation
    Our fiber optic strain gauge can be easily installed by welding, bolting, or embedding into concrete
    structures. In addition, one optical fiber can link multiple fiber optic strain gauges.  

No electricity required
    Electricity sometimes is scarce at construction site. Fiber optic strain gauge uses laser beam
    propagation through optical fiber to detect signals.

Extremely reliable
    Traditional strain gauge uses adhesive to attach to the measured structure. Adhesives will
    degrade through time and lose accuracy, especially when mounted on outdoor structures. Our
    fiber optic strain gauge can be welded, bolted, or embedded to the structure, therefore no
    degradation concern, and accuracy is consistent.

Low maintenance cost
    Low maintenance requirement after installation results in low cost of ownership.

Athermal peformance
    Traditional strain gauge is sensitive to temperature, which induces uncertainties to the measured
    data. Our fiber optic strain gauge is athermal; therefore, observed data is the actual structure
    deformation.
