Abstract

We describe a new non-contact high capacity optical tagging technique based on the use of nanostructured barcodes. The tags are generated from a number of superimposed diffraction gratings. Capacity for up to 68,000 distinguishable tags has been demonstrated, however current technological capability shall allow encoding of up to 109 distinguishable particles, each of which is only 100μm long.

Higher order diffraction is normally less intense and for encoding applications higher orders may be eliminated by threshold detection; C) first order diffraction from combinatorial grating made by superposition of gratings with pitches a 1 and a 2

Encoding capacity of a diffractive bar-code tag as a function of the length of the tag for different numbers of superimposed gratings. The number on each curve corresponds to the number of superimposed gratings. The inset shows the level of intensity discrimination S necessary to ensure error-free identification of tags

SEM images of barcode tags of different order: (i) single grating tag; (ii) two superimposed gratings; (iii) three superimposed gratings; (iv) four superimposed gratings (note nano-lithography resolution limiting quality of this grating).

Diffraction patterns created by a single grating tag (a), and tags containing three different gratings (b). Moving from left to right shows how a progressive decrease in the pitch of one of the gratings changes the diffraction pattern
