Photonic encryption platform in the ultraviolet and visible

Science  Daily March 17, 2022 Researchers in South Korea have developed an optical encryption platform that works simultaneously in the visible and ultraviolet (UV) regimes. They adjusted the physical properties of silicon nitride to reduce its tendency to absorb ultraviolet light. They fabricated a metahologram in which an image clearly appears when ultraviolet laser is irradiated on it. They combined the two metaholograms that work in the ultraviolet and visible light regions to create an anticounterfeiting device that displays a unique product number. The hologram that appears when a visible light laser is irradiated acts as a key and when […]
