Torque in a rotating or stationary shaft is measured by apparatus that includes: a light source for emitting light along a light path; a light detector for receiving the light; a first polarizing filter comprising a single polarizing area and having a first axis-of-polarization attached at a first point along the shaft within the light path and between the light source and the light detector; and a second polarizing filter comprising a single polarizing area and having a second axis-of-polarization, attached at a second point along the shaft and within the light path and between the light source and the light detector. Twist in the shaft produces a change in angle between the first and the second axis-of-polarization, which change in angle produces a change in intensity of the light.
