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 3):
The switch module of  claim 2  further comprising:\n a pivot assembly that includes a first attachment point and a second attachment point, wherein the pivot assembly is mechanically coupled with the first magnet such that the first motion induces a first rotation of the first and second attachment points about a rotation axis; \n a third attachment point; and \n a fourth attachment point; \n wherein the first FBG portion is affixed to each of the first attachment point and the third attachment point, and wherein a first separation between the first and the third attachment points defines the first length; \n wherein the second FBG portion is affixed to each of the second attachment point and the fourth attachment point, and wherein a second separation between the second and the fourth attachment points defines the second length; and \n wherein the first rotation increases the first length and decreases the second length.
