Abstract

A new method is described to create secrete-codes in the security holograms for enhancing their anti-counterfeiting characteristics. To imitate these codes is di±cult as pure phase objects having complex phase distribution function are used to modulate the object beam that is recorded in conjunction with an encoded interferometric reference beam derived from a key hologram. Lloyd's folding mirror interferometer is used to convert phase variations of the reconstructed wave-front into an intensity pattern for hologram authenticity veri¯cation. Creating the secrete-codes through an interferometric reference beam from the key hologram facilitates a multi-stage authenticity veri¯cation as well as easy repositioning of the security hologram through a speci¯c Moir¶e pattern generated during the veri¯cation process
