IR Hidden Patterns for Security Labels
The journal of physical chemistry letters(2024)
摘要
Authentication of a product's originality by anticounterfeiting labels represents a crucial point toward protection against forgery. Fast and scalable fabrication methods of original labels with a high degree of protection are in high demand for the protection of valuable goods. Here, we propose a simple strategy for fabrication of hidden security tags with IR luminescent readout by the direct femtosecond laser patterning of silicon-erbium-silicon sandwiched thin films. The choice of laser processing parameters makes possible the creation of random or quasi-regular self-organized surface nanotextures. The controlled laser-driven oxidation accompanying this process provides simultaneous regulation of the film's optical properties and spontaneous emission yield of the embedded Er atoms. The regimes are detected when optically similar patterned areas demonstrate different Er emission intensities, allowing us to create hidden security tags with facile readout at the C-band telecommunication wavelengths. The obtained results take another step toward the application of IR-luminescent erbium-based anticounterfeiting labels for covert and/or forensic security levels.
