AbstractThis paper focuses on the development of flat diffractive optical elements (DOEs) for protecting banknotes, documents, plastic cards, and securities against counterfeiting. A DOE is a flat diffractive element whose microrelief, when illuminated by white light, forms a visual image consisting of several symbols (digits or letters), which move across the optical element when tilted. The images formed by these elements are asymmetric with respect to the zero order. To form these images, the microrelief of a DOE must itself be asymmetric. The microrelief has a depth of ~ 0.3 microns and is shaped with an accuracy of ~ 10–15 nm using electron-beam lithography. The DOEs developed in this work are securely protected against counterfeiting and can be replicated hundreds of millions of times using standard equipment meant for the mass production of relief holograms.

Abstract Methods for fabricating micro- and nanoscale three-dimensional (3D) structures such as electron-beam lithography (EBL) attracted attention in various fields. In EBL, an acceleration-voltage modulation method can be used to control the developing depth of the structure. In this study, we fabricated a rose petal structure using acceleration-voltage modulation. Using a rose petal mold, plastic- and silver-duplicated rose petals were prepared using nano-imprint lithography (NIL). We demonstrated that various complex 3D structures and materials can be duplicated using NIL by applying an acceleration-voltage modulation method.
