Abstract: A color measurement device includes a light pipe and a light source. The light pipe is oriented length-wise towards a color sample surface along a first axis that is non-perpendicular to the surface. A color sample is positioned on the surface. The light pipe has a near opening, a far opening, and a face at the far opening. The near opening is closer to the color sample than the far opening. The light source is positioned near the far opening of the light pipe, and is to output light along a second axis and into the light pipe at the far opening. The light reflects off the surface after exiting the light pipe at the near opening. The second axis is non-perpendicular to the face of the light pipe at the far opening. The light non-uniformly illuminates the color sample after exiting the light pipe at the near opening.

Abstract: A system and method for encryption of a holographic image is disclosed. The method includes the operation of producing a beam of light having at least two wavelengths of light. The beam of light can be split to form an illumination beam and a reference beam. Amplitude information can be added to the illumination beam with an intensity control device to form an object beam. Wavelength information can be selected in the object beam to form a spatial color modulated object beam. The reference beam and spatial color modulated object beam can be directed to a predetermined location on the holographic media to interfere to record an interference pattern.
