摘要 |
The invention relates to a thin-layer element (30) having an interference layer structure for security papers, valuable documents, and the like, comprising at least two semi-transparent absorber layers (34, 38) and at least one dielectric spacer layer (36) arranged between the at least two absorber layers. According to the invention, the two absorber layers (34, 38) are each composed of a material having a complex refractive index N, the real part n and imaginary part k of which differ by a factor of 5 or greater at least in part of the visible spectral range. Said material is, e.g., silver (Ag) or aluminum (Al). |
