Publication number: 20100208313Abstract: The nature of a volume hologram limits its use in security and sensing applications. Accordingly, a volume hologram segregated into a first and second region recording a first and second image, respectively, and wherein the second region is responsive to stimulus while the first region is protected physically from stimulus is provided. Also provided is a volume hologram with a functional cover disposed thereon to regulate how the volume hologram interacts with the stimulus when in the presence of stimulus. A volume hologram with a removable cover disposed thereon to permit a first recorded image to be viewed, to protect the volume hologram from physical damage, to prevent the volume hologram from interacting with the stimulus, and to be removed, thereby permitting the volume hologram to interact with the stimulus is provided as well. In these ways, the usability of volume holograms in security and sensing applications is increased.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2009Publication date: August 19, 2010Inventors: Adrian M.
