A strain gauge for measuring strain in a structural member, including: a light modulator adapted to be attached to the structural member, further including: a plurality of deformable elements, each of said deformable elements having a reflective surface and a resonant frequency that varies as a function of strain on the element; means for exerting a force to the deformable elements to cause them to deform at their resonant frequency between first and second operating states; an optical system for directing incident light onto the light modulator, and directing modulated light from the light modulator to a sensor that provides an output signal that varies as a function of the resonate frequency of said deformable elements; and means for generating a representation of the strain in the structural member from said output signal.
