Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve a forgery prevention effect by disabling from recognition by visible light and to prevent the appearance of goods from being impaired by recording the interference fringe of pitch to diffract an infrared or ultraviolet ray. CONSTITUTION:For example, a wavelength selective hologram 2 is mounted on a card 1. The wavelength selective hologram 2 diffracts an infrared or ultraviolet ray, and when the hologram is irradiated, for example, with an infrared ray from, it diffracts the infrared ray and it is detected by an infrared detector 4. Since it does not diffract light in the visible region, it is impossible to visualize it by naked eyes. A hologram which diffracts the infrared ray can be obtained by increasing interference fringe pitch, while a hologram which diffracts the ultraviolet ray can be obtained by decreasing the interference fringe pitch. Therefore, since such hologram is invisible by the visible light, and it can be confirmed by a sensor, not by the eyes, only when it is irradiated with light of wavelength in the infrared or ultraviolet region, even the position where the hologram is located cannot be confirmed visually, which improves the forgery prevention effect.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a bar code has been used for confirming an object, but this bar code is black and white and can be seen with visible light, and it is a simple one utilizing the difference in reflectance between black and white. It is based on the principle. Further, as a conventional confirmation method using a hologram, there is a method called a machine-readable hologram, and this hologram can also be recognized by visible light. Holograms are used to prevent counterfeiting of credit cards and rental videos, but they are all visible with visible light, and simple patterns are used.

According to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, for example, a wavelength selective hologram 2 is attached to a card 1. The wavelength-selective hologram 2 diffracts infrared light or ultraviolet light. For example, when the light source 3 irradiates infrared light, it diffracts the infrared light, and the infrared light detector 4 detects it. Since this hologram does not diffract in the visible light range, it is impossible to see it. A hologram that diffracts infrared light can be obtained by increasing the interference fringe pitch, and a hologram that diffracts ultraviolet light can be achieved by shortening the interference fringe pitch.

The present invention is invisible to visible light and can be confirmed not only by the naked eye but also by the sensor only when light having a wavelength in the infrared light region or the ultraviolet light region is irradiated. The anti-counterfeiting effect can be enhanced. When used as a barcode, the barcode itself is a hologram that can be confirmed only when it is illuminated with infrared light or ultraviolet light, so it can contain a considerably larger amount of information than conventional barcodes. Since it is not visible, it is possible to enhance the anti-counterfeit effect without impairing the appearance of the product.

EXAMPLE An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. As the photosensitive material 11, a dry photosensitive material (manufactured by DuPont: Omnidex 352) is used.
Kr laser (647 nm) is used as 3, 16 and 2
Interference fringes with an interference fringe pitch interval of 329 nm were formed by light beam interference. At this time, one light flux was incident from the surface of the photosensitive material at an incident angle of 50 °, and the other one light flux was incident from the surface of the photosensitive material at an incident angle of 37 °. These light beams were made incident through the surface of the glass block 12 through the lens 14, the slit 15, the lens 17, and the slit 18. This is to avoid total reflection and refraction on the surface because the incident angle is shallow. After irradiation with the exposure amount of 30 mJ / cm 2, UV and 50 mJ / cm 2 was irradiated, and further heated at 100 ° C.. In this way, the semiconductor laser (100
(0 nm) was perpendicularly incident on the surface of the photosensitive material as shown in FIG. 3, it was diffracted in the direction of 80 ° from the surface of the photosensitive material, and a reflection hologram invisible to visible light could be formed. This reflection hologram is prepared by a known method (for example, JP-A-1-26).

In the above description, an example of the hologram in which the bar code itself is diffracted only by the reproduction illumination light in the infrared region is shown.

It is possible to create a reflection hologram that includes a large amount of information. Of course, the same applies to the case of the UV region.
