Viewpoint
Dear Readers,
Welcome to the 19th issue of The Holography Times.
Since the early 1980’s, security hologram has grown
in popularity as an authentication device. Starting with
the fi rst image on credit cards in 1983, its application
expanded rapidly into document protection, branded
goods authentication, fi scal stamps, and currency all
over the world. In fact, the security hologram is now
the reference device against which other security
devices are compared. Globally, over 50 percent
of all documents or products are protected by this
technology.
In India, the usage of security hologram started in
1990-91. Today more than 10,000 brands are using
it as an important authentication tool to combat
counterfeiting.
This issue brings our cover story on “Security hologram
works: Continued to dominate the authentication
space in India”. It will update you on this technology.
Apart from this, the issue also covers, industry updates
including news, patents, fi nancial analysis and much
more.

IHMA welcomes new authentication
standards
The Internation Hologram
Manufacturer Association (IHMA)
trade body representing the global
hologram industry has welcomed
the irst international standard to
provide guidance for businesses
on protecting their products from
counterfeits.
ISO 12931 covers ‘Performance
criteria for authentication
solutions used to combat
counterfeiting of material
goods’ and will bring signiicant
beneits to the hologram industry,
says the IHMA.
The IHMA, which was involved
from an early stage in developing
the standard, says ISO 12931
offers new and objective guidance
for brand owners and other rights
holders on how to proceed when it
comes to protecting their products
from counterfeiters using security
devices like holograms.
Although speciically not
referenced, ‘holography’ or a
‘hologram’ meets the only two
types of authentication solutions
identiied by the standard - overt
and covert. Ian M Lancaster,
IHMA General Secretary, was a
member of the ISO committee
that produced ISO 12931.
He says that prior to the Standard,
brand owners and other rights
holders relied on authentication
device providers to guide them
through the requirements for
the protection of their material
goods, which was less than ideal.
“Now, Brand owners will be
equipped with an objective
guide to how to proceed, which
will encourage more to take
counterfeiting seriously and look
at developing effective strategies
to protect against it.”
He adds that ISO 12931 will
promote the use of authentication
solutions, particularly encouraging
the use of overt and covert solutions
– functional categories which can
be combined in one hologram. “The
new standard is a signiicant step
forward and will bring welcome
beneits to the hologram industry.
“It is now up to secure hologram
suppliers to build compliance with
ISO 12931 in to their marketing
materials and training.”
ISO 12931 is available to download
from www.iso.org/iso/home/
store and will also be available
from national standards agencies.

Kerala to have hologram on
plastic bags
Kerala, India: In order to check
the use of plastic carry bags
and to improve the monitoring
mechanism, the city Corporation
of Kerala have started using
hologram stickers on all plastic
carry bags in Kerala.
The hologram stickers have
been produced by the Centre
for Development of Imaging
Technology (C-DIT) for the
city Corporation. According to
Corporation oficials, this is the
irst of its kind initiative in the
State. Along with the project,
there would be an increase in
the cost of the carry bags, which
would now cost anywhere above
` 8 (US 2 cents) , said Health
Oficer, D. Sreekumar.
“One of the main reasons why a
lot of people have been hesitant
to switch to cloth bags is that they
are under the impression that
cloth bags costs more. The higher
price of plastic carry bags should,
however, prompt many to either
reuse the bags or resort to the
alternatives,” he said, adding that
the scheme would make a dent in
the overwhelming use of plastic
carry bags.
Soon, all plastic bags would bear
an emblem in gold and silver
colour. The Health Department
would continue with their
fortnightly monitoring exercises
even after the enforcement of
the hologram rule to ensure that
retail and wholesale dealers,
including textile shops, complied
with this effort to curb the use of
plastic.
The Corporation had associated
with the C-DIT to produce the
holograms, which the dealers
could obtain from the Corporation
ofice. Health standing committee
chairperson S. Pushpalatha said
each hologram emblem had a
serial number. “If we ind that
marks have been imprinted upon
plastic carry bags of less than 40
micron thickness, it will be easier
to trace the erring shop owners.”
She also added that after a
brief notiication period, strict
enforcement of this rule would
be followed this month.
Dr. Sreekumar said the project
was being implemented at a cost
of ` 27 crore* (US $ 6 million).
He said around one crore(10
million) hologram stickers had
been printed for single retail
stores and one lakh for wholesale
dealers.

Indian pharma irms ramp up
anti-counterfeiting spending
Indian drug makers are
spending up to 10 per cent
of production costs on anti-counterfeiting
technology,
executives say. The need to tackle
counterfeits has seen Indian
pharmaceutical companies turn
to technological solutions, with
some reportedly spending 10
per cent of production costs on
stopping fakes. In these extreme
cases the investment is deemed
worthwhile to protect a leading
drug product.
“While every company’s attempt
is to protect all their products
from counterfeiting, most of
them would at least implement
such technologies and premier
packaging in their top brands,”
Alok Saxena, Joint Managing
Director of Elder Pharma, told the
Business Standard newspaper.
Examples of anti-counterfeiting
technologies used by Indian irms
include colour coded caps and
holograms. For instance, Glenmark
has added these to its portfolio
to help patients and prescribers
identify genuine products.
Companies must continue to invest
though, according to the report.
“It is imperative that regulators
and companies work together to
ensure they set up systems and
processes and adopt technologies
that would ensure that authentic
drugs reach the consumer,”
said Shakti Chakraborty, Lupin
Laboratories’ Group President for
India.

In India, the usage of security hologram started in 1990-91 and today it
has been used by more than 10,000 brands as an authentication tool to
combat counterfeiting.
This article highlights how this technology introduced in India and
continues to dominate the authentication space.
1990’s saw boom in the stock
market post liberalisation and
there was great demand for
securing the share certiicates
because of the prevalance of
share certiicate frauds that were
constantly being discovered.
It was the period, when few
new generation entrepreuner in
India started exploring business
opportunity in security printing
technology and started exporting
this technology from USA.
Despite numerous challenges
like unavailability of quality
raw material in India, heavy
import duty and missing
critical converting technology
they started delivering
holograms through innovating
manufacturing process and
developing raw material in India.
Recollecting the memories,
Mr. U K Gupta, Founder Member
Past President of HoMAI, stated,
“Holography started in India in
1991. In initial phase we have
various challenges as the basic
information related to technology
was limited to few people abroad,
and they were simply exploiting our
ignorance. We realised the problem
and it was in 1994-95 hologram
manufacturing companies started
talking to each other in trying to
sort out the dificulties being faced
in forms of technology, machine
and input material. As an industry
we innovate the manufacturing
process, indigenously developed
various machinery, raw materials
in order to compete with foreign
hologram manufacturers. That is
the reason hologram as an industry
groom in India.
Mr. Rohitt D Mistry, another
Founder Member of HoMAI CMD
of Holographic Security Marking
Systems, stated “We developed
the irst hot stampable hologram
in India. Many companies such
as Reliance, Bank of India, Bank
of Baroda, Dena Bank, Llotds,
and many others had their share
certiicates hot stamped on the
share certiicates, previoulsly
some companies had resorted
to using self adhesive holograms
but they proved to be too costly
due to manual application.
The hot stampable hologram
increased the security at much
reduced costs. This was further
developed for a label for a well
established pharmaceutical
liquid formulation “Phensedyl”.
“As an industry we innovate
the manufacturing process,
indigenously developed
various machinery, raw
materials in order to compete
with foreign hologram
manufacturers. That is the
reason hologram as an

Cover Story
“Our fi rst project was with Bausch Lomb in December 1991 the makers of famous
Ray-Ban range of Sunglasses. Despite numerous challenges like unavailability of quality
raw material in India, 130% import duty and missing critical converting technology we
delivered on this project through innovating the manufacturing process and sourcing
basic raw material from South Korea. The project was a huge success for Ray-Ban and
for us”
Security hologram in
document protection:
Over the period brand owner’s
started considering security
this technology for brand
protection purpose; although,
the key application which gives
recognition to security hologram
in India was Election Photo
Identity Card (EPIC). It was
in 1991, when Mr. T N Seshan
(Former Election Commissioner
of India) introduced security
hologram on voter identity card
in India across the country to
stop or avoid duplication.
The project becomes a landmark
for Indian Hologram Industry and
today, all 28 States and 7 Union
Territory in India uses security
hologram on voter identity card.
According to Mr. Luv D Shriram,
General Secretary Treasurer
(HoMAI), said “Security
hologram was used in document
protection because it provides
the best visual authentication.
Electronic authentication is not
possible everywhere especially
in remote areas so it generate a
requirement of an instant visual
authentication like a security
hologram with advanced
levels of security features for
- G S Dhillon
Founder member and Past President (HoMAI),
MD, Alpha Lasertek India Ltd
authentication (One such example
is Visa / MasterCard which is
continuously using security
hologram as overt feature since
1983).
Security hologram
in excise revenue
protection; landmark
to industry:
The second big project which
take this industry to new
height was the introduction of
holographic excise adhesive
label (HEAL) in excise sector. As
revenue from liquor contribute
highest revenue for State’s in
India, HEAL were introduced by
State Excise Department to keep
an eye on revenue from liquor
production in their States.
The revolution of irst HEAL
was introduced by Tamilnadu
Government in 1999-2000
(supplied by Holostik India), which
was followed by Uttar Pradesh in
2001 (supplied by Holostik India)
Kerala (supplied by CDIT) in
2002. Today, more than 17 States
in India are using approximately
10.3 billion holographic excise
adhesive labels annually (See
Table 1).
“The initial
application which
gives recognition
to security
hologram in India
was its use on
Voter Identity Card
in 1991”

Security hologram in
brand protection:
In the late 90’s unique hologram
based security aluminium foil was
developed for pharmaceuitcal
products, as it was and it still
is a sector that is affected by
duplicators and counterfeitors.
Holographic Security Marking
Systems developed aluminium
foils and PVC used for blister
packing of medicines with
hologram making it the irst
application of hologram stripe
on pharmaceutical product
packaging in the world. In same
period hologram manufacturers
teamed together and Hologram
Manufacturers Association of
India came into existence in 1998.
The association was formed with
an aim to promote holography in
India and to protect consumer
and brand from menace of
counterfeiting.
Today, more than 10,000 brands
in India are using security
holographic solutions made by
HoMAI members. They reached to
public in various forms in various
applications and they accepted it
as a mark of authentication. They
have been used in various forms
catering almost various sectors /
application in India. The lexibility
of forms in which the hologram
can be delivered, on many different
types of products, is huge.
According to Mr. Pradip Shroff,
immediate past President of HoMAI
and an expert in brand protection
solutions: “Security holograms are
ideal 3-in-1 solution. A security
hologram can be used as one
technology for all three levels of
security – identiication, veriication
and authentication. A Security
hologram can also be incorporated
in a device with other authentication
technologies to develop even a more
robust solution.”

Why hologram
continue to dominate
the authentication

It’s almost 22 years since security
holograms have been used in
India. The reasons are many, but,
it would not be possible without
the combined effort of its industry
professionals, association and its
users. The reasons are many, but,
mainly because;

No competing technology works
at so many levels (overt, covert

Continuous RD:
Hologram usage for
authentication is increasing, and
the technology is not standing
still. Researchers are now
working at the sub-micron level
to produce novel, overt effects
once impossible to achieve.
Development of standards:
HoMAI has developed “TUV-HoMAI
Hologram Safety
Security Management Systems
(HSSMS)” standards along
with TUV Rheinland, a irst in
the world, security and safety
standards to upgrade hologram
suppliers’ facilities / process.
HoMAI members companies will
now work with TUVR and audit
their activities against these
standards. This new initiative

has been evolved to provide
an independent assessment of
the security system to enable
customer select the best partner
in developing and supplying
solutions against counterfeiting.
Regulated industry:
The industry works under the
strict guidelines and code of
conduct of its industry body,
Hologram Manufacturers’
Association of India (HoMAI).
Formed in 1998, HoMAI is
working on advancement of
holography technology and
encouraging its members to
adopt best practices, standards
and usage of advance technology
in providing cost effective
solution against counterfeiting.
Hologram image registration:
HoMAI has now made
arrangement with CIB London
(Counterfeit Intelligence Bureau
a specialized division of The
international Chamber of
Commerce-Commercial Crime
Services) so that each HoMAI
member can register their
security holograms with CIB.
Educating stakeholders and
consumer: (see igure 1)
In order to promote awareness
and educate the end customer,
hologram manufacturing
companies have been adopting
different methods in this regard.
For example, in liquor sector

“Holographic fi lm started with the idea to secure packaged products in automobile
parts tobacco industry from getting duplicated. Gradually, it became an “X-factor”
in packaging of products. Innovative holographic security packaging, today, can
go a long way in enhancing the visual appeal as well as secure the brand. Such
innovative creative customised holographic image with overt features integrates
different packaging form for organised manufacturing industry protects their
Profi t. Holographic image integration is the future for packaging products in India.”
overt features of hologram are
described in an enlarged view
in local language. This method
has proved highly successful and
greatly helped the end customer
in distinguishing between
the original and fake product
effectively. Moreover from time
to time, hologram manufacturing
companies conduct seminars
for brand owners / Government
authorities to educate and
impart training to their staff so
they have full understanding
of all the security features and
effects contained within security
holograms.
Security hologram
enhances the value of
digital technology
There are new non holographic
technologies now available. Each
one of them provides typically
one level of authentication
with their own unique method.
Interestingly holograms and
all such technologies can work
together in developing a stronger
dificult to copy, multi tech robust
authentication solution.
Mr. Manoj Kochar, President
of HoMAI, said “The menace
of product counterfeiting has
become very widespread and it
is important to take a proactive
approach to tackle this menace
head-on. The International
Standards Organisation (ISO) has
taken the lead in this direction
and has recently formulated
- R D Surana
Founder member (HoMAI)
MD, Everest Holovision Ltd.
a new standard ISO 12931
titled ‘Performance Criteria
for Authentication of Material
Goods’. These standards lay
down the guidelines for brand
owners to undertake effective
protection of their brands and
products. Ours is one industry
that provides a multi-level
security solution as proposed
by these standards. While the
hologram remains the foremost
weapon in the armoury of brand
owners, it actually complements
and easily integrates with
other technologies like Security
printing, Track and Trace etc.
Such integration provides the
brand owners to select the right
mix of the various technologies
for adopting the optimal solution
and keep the counterfeiters at
bay.
The future looks good
Security hologram usage to
ight against the counterfeiters
will increase further. Hologram
industry is continuously
developing new technology and
new variants of features for all three
levels – identiication, veriication
and authentication. New
developments will provide more
exotic and dificult to stimulate
optical effects. Researchers are
now working at the sub-micron
level to produce novel, overt effects
once impossible to achieve. A multi
technology device incorporating
security holograms will be the
most preferred solution for years
to come.

Face to Face
Giriraj Foils Pvt Ltd (GFPL) established in 1993 as Stamping Foil Company. Later in 1998, they started
producing tamper evident fi lm for hologram manufacturers in India. In a decade of its emergence, GFPL has
captured three fourth of the market share of the hologram Industry in India.
From last two years the company is focusing on huge expansion and come up with an revamped new factory
with an annual capacity of production 3000 tons per annum. They have recently procure a new metallizer
(TOPMET) from Applied Materials, Germany, in order to fulfi l the requirement of industry globally.
THT team visited his plant and in one to one interview talks with Shobhit Arora, Managing Director (GFPL)
about this expansion and future plan.
THT: How was GFPL established
and what are the problems faced
in initial stages?
SA: GFPL was my dream project.
In 1993 label manufacturers
were importing stamping foil
from outside India and they
had to pay very high import
duty. This encouraged us and
we established GFPL in 1993 to
produce stamping Foil in India.
Within a short span of time
we were able to provide our
customers good quality of raw
materials at reasonable price.
The availability of good quality
polyester in India also played
a crucial role init.From 1993
to 1998, I was approached by
few holographers to do similar
developments for Hologram
Industry inIndia. But at that
time user group were not well-established,
since everyone
had different speciications of
embossing machines. We took
this is as a challengeand in 1998,
started producing tamper evident
ilms for hologrammanufacturers.
We continuously work on the
theme “Bring us the problem, we
customize the solution”
THT: Please specify, various kind
of product you manufacturers for
various industries / Global market?
SA: We produce:
A) For Hologram
manufacturers (Domestic
as well as Global)

in this business? Kindly share the
trends and development going in
foil industry globally and what
you are doing to keep yourself in
competition?
SA: We have observed that
globally the market for normal
foils is stagnant but the market for
Special features within the ilm
Customised patterns is going to
increase leaps bound. The track
trace technology is the “IN”
thing we have to be on our toes
to develop, offer maintain these
new trends in our product range
so as to keep growing.
New Security features (Customized
patterns), track trace technology
supported by Information
technology are the latest trend
in the market, domestic as well
as globally. We have developed
selective release general
customized pattern ilms are
looking for good business in times
to come. New developments are
going on we are hopeful to offer
our clientele these new developed
ilms very shortly.
THT: You have recently come up
with a new Applied Metalizer?
How would it will differentiate
GFPL from other security foil
manufacturer?

E-beam origination technology:
Current state and development prospects.
-by A. A. Goncharsky and S. R. Durlevich
Moscow State University, Computer Holography Centre Ltd.
Introduction
Optical technologies are currently
widely used to protect banknotes,
plastic cards, and brands. One of
the irst pilot projects involving
the use of optical security features
- holograms – was the Visa card
project, which continues to use
a 3D dove image. The project
started more than 20 years ago,
and the origination technologies
of optical security elements
has changed dramatically since
then. Optically recorded features
whose originals are synthesized
using e-beam technology are in
fact not holograms, but rather
computer-synthesized lat nano-optical
elements.
Origination technologies play
a crucial role in protecting the
optical elements, because it is
the stage of origination that lays
down the foundation of most
of the security features. In this
sense, electron-beam technology
holds a special place. It is a
knowledge-intensive and very
rare technology.
In this paper we try to answer
the following question: Q: Can
electron-beam origination
technology be used to create
security features for visual and
instrument control that would
be impossible to imitate using
optical origination techniques?
Optical origination
technologies
We have already mentioned the
possibility of optical recording
of 3D and 2D/3D holograms by
means of laser radiation and
optical tables. This technology,
which was developed over 20
years ago, has since then been
modernized and is still in use
to this day. However, the so-called
dot-matrix technology has
become the optical origination
technology of choice in the
last ten years. The technology
uses optical (laser) radiation
to record the master hologram.
The image is subdivided into
circular or rectangular pixels
and gratings are recorded into
these pixels using interference
of laser beams. Figure 1 shows a
typical image pattern that can be
seen through a microscope when
looking at high magniication at
a hologram originated using dot-matrix
technology. Figure 2 shows
a magniied image of optical
elements originated using modern
dot-matrix technology. The typical
size of round pixels for dot-matrix
technology is about 25 microns,
which corresponds to a resolution
of 1000 dpi. There have been
reports about the development
of dot-matrix technologies that
can achieve resolutions as high
Figiure 1
Abstract
We compare origination
technologies of optical
security elements. Electron-beam
technology, albeit the
youngest among them, has
already moved to the fore in
origination business. Optical
security features made
using e-beam technology are
secured against fraud and
are widely used to protect
documents, banknotes, plastic
cards, and brands.

as 10000 dpi. The typical size of a
rectangular pixel for modern dot-matrix
technology is 8 microns.
The minimum size of a dot that
can be synthesized using this
technology is 2 microns.
The irst impression of Figs.
1 and 2 is that dot-matrix
technology has a very limited
potential as far as the generation
of security features is concerned.
However, this is not the case.
These technologies have been
progressing for over a decade and
are now capable of synthesizing a
large number of security features
for visual inspection. These
features include switch effects for
2D images, synthesis of 2D/3D
and even 3D images.
As for expert control, optical
security technologies make it
possible to produce microtexts
and even covert images that
can be visualized using laser
radiation and that are symmetric
with respect to the zero order.
Figiure 3
In addition to dot-matrix there
are other optical technologies,
such as pixelgrams, direct
exposure through masks, etc.
Figure 3 shows schematically
the synthesis of images using
this technology. By changing the
position of the optical element the
observer sees kinematic effects of
the motion of image fragments.
All the above origination
technologies use optical radiation
and, like dot-matrix technique,
have limited capabilities in
terms of the synthesis of micro-relief
compared with e-beam
origination technology.
Despite the abundance of various
optical origination systems, the
technologies of the synthesis
of hologram originals can
be subdivided in two groups
according to the physical nature
of the radiation used. The irst
group includes dot-matrix,
pixelgrams, exposure through
masks, other similar techniques,
which use optical radiation. The
techniques of the second group
use electron-beam technology to
synthesize hologram originals.
Electron-beam technology has
greater capabilities for the
formation of micro-relief, and
not only owing to its super high
resolution. Optical origination
methods can produce only image
fragments with symmetric micro-relief.
Unlike optical technologies,
electron-beam technology allows
creating optical elements with
asymmetric micro-relief.
Electron-beam
origination
technology for the
synthesis of optical
security features.
Electron-beam technology of
the formation of micro-relief
was originally developed for
microelectronics, where it had
to constantly compete with
similar optical technologies. The
resolution of optical technologies
is limited by the wavelength of
radiation used. To increase the
resolution, the technology has to
move to ever shorter wavelengths
– to the ultraviolet and even soft
X-ray domain of electromagnetic
spectrum. Electron-beam
technology differs fundamentally
from optical technologies because
it uses electron beam, which can
be very accurately focused with
Technology
electromagnetic lenses. Electron-beam
lithography has a resolution
of 50-100 nm (0.05-0.1 microns).
Modern e-beam lithography
systems for microelectronics
can even achieve a resolution
of 10 nm (0.01 micron), which
far exceeds any requirements in
tasks involving the synthesis of
optical elements.
Despite the abundance of various
electron-beam lithographers,
electron beam origination
technology can be subdivided
into two groups – Gaussian beam
and shaped-beam lithographs.
Gaussian beam systems use
electron beam shaped in a round
spot area, whereas shaped-beam
systems can produce images
made up of variously sized
rectangles. These lithographers
allow exposure time to be reduced
substantially and are more complex
than Gaussian beam systems.
Figure 4 shows the appearance of a
shaped-beam lithographer.
Electron-beam lithography
systems are very complex
devices. The technology of the
formation of micro-relief is very
knowledge intensive. Modern
lithographers cost several
million Euros, depending on the
coniguration. The high cost of
equipment and the knowledge-intensive
nature is a disadvantage
for most of the technologies.
However, in the case of security
technologies this disadvantage
is offset by their very limited use
and the capability to offer secure
protection against counterfeiting.
Nano-optics
Electron-beam technology has
stimulated the development
of a new branch in optics -
nanophotonics. Fresnel proposed
lat optical elements as early
as two hundred years ago. An
optical element is called lat if the
wavefront transformation in it
occurs at micro-relief depths on
the order of the wavelength. The

Technology
lithography and its capabilities
in the domain of precision
formation of micro-relief
contributed to the breakthrough
in it. New optical elements
produced using electron-beam
lithography have been called
nano-optical elements, because
their micro-relief can be made
with an accuracy of a few tens
of nanometers. Figures 5 and 6
show the micro-relief of optical
elements made using electron-beam
technology. The elements
have a complex micro-relief.
Micro-relief is made with an
accuracy of about 10 nm. The
images of nano-optical elements
shown in Figs. 5 and 6 are
published with the permission
of the Fraunhofer Institute
(Germany).

Figiure 6
Figiure 7
Electron beam lithography made
it possible to turn a new page
in the origination of security
holograms. Originals made using
electron-beam lithography, in
fact, have nothing to do with
holography. These are computer-synthesized
nano-optical
elements, which are in principle
impossible to imitate by means of
optical origination technologies.
Figure 7 shows a fragment of
the micro-relief of nano-optical
security element made with the
e-beam lithography system of
Computer Holography Centre
Ltd. The accuracy of micro-relief
reproduction is of about 20 nm.
Optical elements made using
electron beam lithography are
now widely used for the synthesis
of both visual security features
and for instrument control. Let
us now consider in more detail
the opportunities offered by the
electron-beam lithography for
visual inspection.
Electron-beam
lithography for the
synthesis of visual
features
Electron-beam technology
offers a wide range of features
for visual inspection, which can
not be simulated by means of
optical hologram recording. Let
us consider some of the features
used in visual control:
Vertical true-color
switch effect
The observer can see two
different true-color images just
by changing the position of the
optical element. The vertical
true-color switch-effect is used
to protect banknotes of Sweden
(Fig. 8). This effect it is dificult
to forge or imitate by means of
optical technologies.
Switch-effect of 3D
and 2D images
When the optical element is in
normal position the observer
sees a three-dimensional image.
If the element is turned by 900 a
different, two-dimensional image
appears instead (Fig. 9).
Figiure 9
Switch-effect that
appears when the
element is turned by
1800
This switch-effect is
fundamentally impossible
to reproduce using optical
origination technologies.
Images originated using optical
technologies do not change
when the element is turned by
1800. Electron-beam technology
makes it possible to create visual
features where the image turned
by 1800 does not match the
image at 00. This feature can be
exempliied by Decolor-effect
(Fig. 10). In the normal position
the observer sees the saturated
color and contrast image,
which, when turned by 1800,
loses its color, becomes gray and
disappears.

Bas-relief
Figiure 10
A new imaging technology, which
gives the observer the impression
of bas-relief, allows creating
extra protection levels, such as an
image that is visible in the second
channel (Fig. 11).
Figiure 11
Kinetic effect of
motion. Letter-lens
effect
Figiure 12
Various kinetic motion effects
are currently commonly used
to protect documents. Electron-beam
technology offers similar
visual effects. One of them is the
Letterlens effect (Fig. 12).The
observer sees at a point source
inside the lens, which is actually
a lat optical element, a letter or
a symbol, which moves when the
view angle of the optical element
is changed. When the observer
inclines the optical element full
parallax motion effect is observed:
the symbol or letter can shift both
left/right and up/down directions.
Electron-beam
technology for the
synthesis of evidence
for expert control
Electron-beam technology offers
a wide range of features for expert
control, which are impossible
to reproduce by means of an
optical hologram origination. Let
us consider some of the features
used for expert control.
Nanotexts and micro-images
The high resolution of electron-beam
technology makes it possible
to produce variously sized micro-and
nanotexts with letters or
symbols heights up to about 4
microns (Fig. 13). Another secure
feature for expert control are true-color
images with the sizes of 100-
200 microns (Fig. 14):
Figiure 13
Figiure 14
Shaped pixel
technology
Electron-beam technology can be
used to synthesize image made
up of pixels of special shape, such
as hexagons, as shown in Fig. 15.
The pixel size in Fig. 15 is about
15 microns. This feature is easy to
control and impossible to imitate
with optical origination systems.
Figiure 15
Covert laser readable
images (CLR)
CLR images have become an
integral part of instrumental
control. For more than a decade,
the industry used the technology
of the synthesis of symmetric
CLR-images visualized by
Technology
laser radiation. Electron-beam
technology makes it possible to
asymmetric micro-reliefs. When
applied to CLR-images, this
technology is called Multilevel
CLR-image technology. In this case,
the observer sees on the screen of
the device for CLR image control
two different images at once (Fig.
16). The micro-relief of Multilevel
CLR-images can be synthesized
with an accuracy of 15 nm. Such
images are impossible to forge or
imitate using optical origination
technologies.
Figiure 16
Conclusions
E-beam technology offers a wide
range of security features for
visual and expert control and is
well is protected against forgery.
Mass replication of optical
security features can be made
with standard equipment for the
reproduction of holograms.
The disadvantages of e-beam
technology are its knowledge-intensive
nature and the high
cost of equipment. However,
these disadvantages become an
advantage when it comes to the
production of security features.
Very few companies in the
world have the equipment and
technology needed for e-beam,
and one specializes in the
production of top-level security
hologram originals to order. Our
customers include many Indian
companies and we are always
open for cooperation in the ield
of security technology.
