Subject of study. Optical strain gauges based on the photoelastic effect with a sensitivity threshold of up to 0.02 µm/m for technical diagnostics, non-destructive testing and technical condition diptychs. Aim of study. To determine the limiting values of sensitivity and the sensitivity threshold of optical-polarization sensors based on the photoelastic effect and to justify the possibility of their application for solving practical problems of control and monitoring the technical condition of structures, machines and mechanisms. Method. The review contains an analysis of Russian and foreign articles, conference proceedings and original experimental results. Main results. This review analyzes studies on the use of strain gauges for detecting material defects, identifying the capabilities, limitations, and development prospects of these methods. The optical designs and limiting characteristics of strain gauges with interference and polarization effects are analyzed. Experimental results demonstrate their advantages for solving technical diagnostic problems. Practical significance. Examples of the practical application of polarization-optical deformation sensors for monitoring lifting and transport equipment during operation, railway transport facilities, friction units and press joints of critical elements of mechanical engineering structures are given.
