Paper Abstract

High contrast sub-wavelength gratings (HCGs) possess unique diffraction properties such as steep angle diffraction, high diffraction efficiency with large spectral bandwidth. Here, we discuss the application of diffraction optimized HCG's as security tags with color shifting properties. Simulations of the gratings carried out using rigorous coupled wave analysis clearly show distinguishable color features for different angles of viewing. The designed security tags find application in documents which are prone to risk of counterfeiting.
