Printing Technique developed to print hidden images.
Printing three types of QR codes, each 72 by 72 pixels, new technique developed by research team uses silver and carbon ink to print images consisting of rods that are about millimeter long and couple of hundred microns wide. Visually telling difference between different conductivities, technique allows printing of different shapes that form type of metamaterial – synthetic materials.

Researchers from College of Optics and Photonics, University of Central Florida (CREOL), report on their new antireflection coating in Optica, The Optical Society's journal for high impact research. Exhibiting a surface reflection of just .23 percent, as compared to iPhone’s 4.4, antireflection film contains tiny uniform dimples, each about 100 nm in diameter, which when viewed in sunlight,...

Optics Express updates research on invisible watermark technology.
Helping encode optical watermark in one step, Optical Society's journal Optics Express highlights single-shot ptychography encoding (SPE) technique, which creates invisible optical watermarks to protect images, videos and books from counterfeit distribution. Less prone to error and boasting of simple optical setup, researchers are now working to apply SPE to dynamic watermarking, which creates...
