Abstract: A fiber optic extensometer based on a scanning white light Michelson interferometer is presented. The instrument employs a light emitting diode as the light source and a single mode fiber with predetermined gauge length as the extensometer sensor head. Light to and from the sensor head is transmitted through a single mode lead (i.e., in/out) fiber. The sensor performance is insensitive to the in/out fiber extensions. The fiber optic extensometer was applied to measure the compression and tension of concrete specimens. The measurement results compare well with that from a conventional extensometer.
