Optical system and method for tamper detection

摘要

A tamper detection system (10) is described as including at least one optical energy transmitter (20a) and a material (14) for transmitting optical energy from the at least one optical energy transmitter. The system further includes at least one support structure (16) adjacent the energy transmitting layer and at least one detector (22a) for detecting a change in energy distribution within the material. Also described is a container utilizing the system.
