Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to optical switching devices and switch modules that are designed for long-term security monitoring of high-value infrastructure access entry points. Embodiments in accordance with the present disclosure include optical switches based on fiber-Bragg gratings whose operating wavelengths are based on the presence or absence of magnetic coupling between an embedded permanent magnet and an external element. By monitoring the spectral position of the operating wavelengths and/or the magnitude of a light signal at the operating wavelengths, the state of the magnetic coupling can be determined and used as an indicator of whether the security switch has been actuated.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 12  wherein the switch is provided by operations that further include (iii) providing a pivot assembly that includes the first attachment point, wherein the first magnet is mechanically coupled with the first attachment point via the pivot assembly such that the first motion induces a rotation of the first attachment point about a first rotation axis.
