Abstract

An identification article comprise a substrate and a pattern-form Fresnel hologram provided as an identification information providing layer on the surface or in the interior of the substrate structure. The pattern-form Fresnel hologram is formed by (a) forming a Fresnel hologram by exposing a photosensitive resin layer to an interference light obtained from interference between an object light beam and a reference light beam both obtained by dividing a single coherent light, (b) exposing the Fresnel hologram to light transmitted through a mask pattern, (c) fabricating a pattern-form Fresnel hologram by developing the Fresnel hologram, and (d) reconstructing the pattern-form Fresnel hologram thus obtained. The identification article is verified by projecting a monochromatic light onto the hologram to reproduce an image and projecting this image on a screen or detecting it with a light detector.
