[17][18][19] Diffractive coupling of light to surface plasmon polaritons [2,3] (SPPs) via a periodically textured surface (a diffraction grating) has been demonstrated as a mechanism for optical polarization conversion. [20][21][22] The arrangement of surface-relief diffraction gratings into arrays of pixels is already established as a means of creating images in optically variable devices, with diffraction as the principal color-generating mechanism rather than plasmonic interaction. [23] Such devices are now familiar as overt optical security features on banknotes and on retail products. A further goal for document security and anticounterfeiting is the inclusion of covert images, text, or patterns, [1] whereby latent features that are invisible to the naked eye may be revealed and verified under certain specific viewing conditions. This application has been the subject of several approaches, including luminescent inks, [24] plasmonic surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, [25] controlled wetting of nanopillar arrays, [26] polarization conversion using polymerized liquid crystals, [27] circularly polarized light reflectance, [28] infrared images, [29] magnetic field-responsive colloids, [30] and grayscale images that are revealed by second harmonic generation. [31] In this work, we present a device that utilizes plasmonic color generation and polarization control for the realization of optical security features. Covert full-color images are demonstrated in which the concealed spectral signature exists in light that has undergone an orthogonal conversion of its polarization state upon reflection from a plasmonic surface (Figure 1). A polarization-sensitive optical system is required to view the image and its color signature, which are not visible to the naked eye at normal incidence. Nanostructured grating coupling is used to produce red, green, and blue (RGB) primary colors through tailored surface plasmon interactions. The RGB color space encloses a wide gamut of chromaticities, enabling accurate color definition using additive color mixing. We have created a large-area (14.4 mm × 9.6 mm) color reproduction of the famous Mona Lisa portrait using an array of juxtaposed plasmonic pixels. Electron-beam lithography is used for the fabrication of the nanostructured surface.Plasmonic color generation offers potential advantages over pigment-based printing, including simplified production and the use of fewer materials. Specific plasmonic techniques vary in terms of which additional desirable features they possess, as Covert optical signatures are a vital element in anticounterfeiting technologies. Plasmonic surfaces offer a means of manipulating the properties of light including the realization of colored pixels and images. In this work, concealed images with accurate color reproduction using plasmonic pixel arrays are demonstrated. The spectral and spatial control of optical polarization conversion is accomplished by tailoring the interaction of light with surface plasmons through the design and arrange...
