The development of optical switching elements has been directed, until now, mostly to applications in the field of signal processing with very high data capacity. But optical switching elements could also offer great advantages if used in optical or fibre optical sensor systems. The discussion of two relatively simple examples is intended to demonstrate the chances of nonlinear optical switching elements for applications as sensor elements or as sensor specific signal processing elements.
