Fiber Bragg grating strain gages can be delivered pre-laminated for measuring strain on stiff surfaces. They are suitable for being fixed easily onto the measurement object, like concrete beams, or rocks.
They are useful to measure dynamic events on stiff materials, where a direct embedding of the bare fiber is not applicable. Each strain gage will be calibrated to ensure a highly accurate measurement.

- Monitoring of strain or tem- perature under hazardous conditions
- Geotechnics, deformation monitoring, rock vibration measurement

Since the laminated strain gage has a higher stiffness than the bare fiber, it must not be applied onto weaker objects.
