摘要： A film material utilizing a regular two-dimensional array of non-cylindrical lenses to enlarge micro-images, called icons, to form a synthetically magnified image through the united performance of a multiplicity of individual lens/icon image systems. The synthetic magnification micro-optic system includes one or more optical spacers (5), a micro-image formed of a periodic planar array of a plurality of image icons (4) having an axis of symmetry about at least one of its planar axes and positioned on or next to the optical spacer (5), and a periodic planar array of image icon focusing elements (1).

摘要： Microstructured taggant particles, their applications and methods of making the same are described. Precisely formed taggant particles can be formed, in the range of 500µ and smaller, from either inert polymers or biodegradable materials bearing information indicia, such as through specific shape, size, color, reflectively, refractive index, surface geometry, imprinting, optical effect or properties, and electromagnetic properties, to uniquely tag, identify or authenticate articles.

摘要： The present invention provides methods and compositions for identification and counterfit deterrence using non-holographic micro-optics and microstructures having a surface relief greater than a few microns. Embodiments of the present invention disclose a range of distinctive optical effects obtained from micro-optic systems incorporating micro lenses (35), non-imaging collectors (31), prisms, wave guides, mirrors (68), gratings, structural interference filters, and photonic crystal microstructures.

摘要： An embossed optical waveguide for light transmission and a method for creating a master and for generating the embossed optical waveguide therefrom. Optical elements (142, 143, 145) can be formed in a layer of polymer (133) after it is cured by reactive ion etching or ion beam milling. The polymer layer (133) which has an index of refraction of 1.55 or greater is bonded to a substrate (135), which is preferably polypropylene, having an index of refraction of preferably 1.50 or less. Since the refractive index of air is approximately 1.0, the polymer layer is sandwiched between two layers of low refractive material. The differences between the indices of refraction cause light projected into the polymer layer (133) to be guided in the polymer layer by total internal reflection. Furthermore, once the optical elements (142, 143, 145) have been formed in the polymer layer, it can be used as a master for generating embossments. The embossments are preferably generated by placing liquid polymer in contact with the master, curing it, and separating the cured polymer embossment from the master.
