Overview
Thefirstgenerationoflaseranti-counterfeitingtechnologyismainlyusedtomakelaser-moldedholographicimageanti-counterfeitinglabels.
Becauseofthepoormonochromaticityandpoorcoherenceofordinarylightsources,thedevelopmentofholographictechnologyisslow,anditisdifficulttotakesatisfactoryholograms.Untiltheemergenceoflaserintheearly1960s,withitshighbrightness,highmonochromaticityandhighcoherencecharacteristics,itquicklypromotedthedevelopmentofholographictechnology.Manykindsofhologramswereproduced,andtheholographictheorywaswellverified..
Inthelate1970s,itwasdiscoveredthatholographicpictureshadasurfacestructurecontainingthree-dimensionalinformation(thatis,crisscrossinterferencefringes,whichcanbetransferredtohigh-densityphotosensitivefilmandothermaterials).In1980,Americanscientistsusedembossingholographictechnologytotransfertheholographicsurfacestructuretoapolyesterfilm,thussuccessfullyprintingtheworld'sfirstembossedholographicpicture.Thiskindoflaserholographicpicture,alsoknownasrainbowholographicpicture,istoproduceimagesonplasticfilmthroughlaserplatemakingtoproducecolorfuldiffractioneffects,givingthepictureasenseoftwo-dimensionalandthree-dimensionalspace.Underordinarylight,thehiddenimagesandinformationinthepicturewillreappear,andwhenthelightshinesfromacertainangle,anewimagewillappearonthepicture.Thiskindofmouldedholographicpicturescanbecopiedquicklyinlargequantitieslikeprinting,withlowcost,andcanalsobeusedincombinationwithallkindsofprintedmatter.Sofar,holographicphotographyhastakenadecisivesteptowardssocialapplications.
