Optical security marking component, method of manufacturing such a component, system comprising such a component, and reader for checking such a component

摘要

The present invention relates to an optical security marking component producing a first visible configuration when observed through a polarizer oriented in a first orientation, and a second configuration, separate from the first, visible when observed through the polarizer oriented in a second orientation, the optical component comprising a stamped film for forming at least two diffraction gratings having different orientations, characterized in that each of said gratings has a period of less than 550 nm and a modulation between 0.25 and 0.5 relative to a reference plane.
