摘要

Abstract

Going beyond an improved colour gamut

an asymmetric colour contrast

which depends on the viewing direction

and its ability to readily deliver information could create opportunities for a wide range of applications

such as next-generation optical switches

colour displays

and security features in anti-counterfeiting devices. Here

we propose a simple Fabry–Perot etalon architecture capable of generating viewing-direction-sensitive colour contrasts and encrypting pre-inscribed information upon immersion in particular solvents (optical camouflage). Based on the experimental verification of the theoretical modelling

we have discovered a completely new and exotic optical phenomenon involving a tuneable colour switch for viewing-direction-dependent information delivery

which we define as asymmetric optical camouflage.
