摘要:
Optical data carrier (1) having a multilevel construction, comprising a first (2) and a second (3) diffractive structure obtained on overlapped levels, wherein one (3) of these structures has a diffractive information code and the other one (2) a diffractive control code acting as read key for the information code, the construction being such that, upon exposing the device to a substantially monochromatic electromagnetic wave beam, each structure deflects such incident electromagnetic wave beam into one or more diffracted beams spatially independent from the one or more diffracted beams generated by the other structure.
