Abstract
Abstract A hologram containing information recorded such a manner that it is difficult to read. A Lippmann hologram (10) contains photoelectrically readable information (13) recorded so as to be reconstructible only with a specific invisible wavelength (6) in the infrared or ultraviolet region. It is difficult to read the information recorded on the hologram unless information about the wavelength of diffracted light (14) for reconstruction is given. The hologram is also difficult to forge and hence suitable for security purposes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
A hologram multiply recorded for security said hologram comprising: photoelectrically readable security information recorded as a Lippman hologram so as to be reconstructible only with a specific invisible wavelength in an infrared or ultraviolet region; and at least one other pattern information multiply recorded as a Lippman hologram in an overlapping relationship with said security information and being reconstructible with light of a wavelength different from said specific invisible wavelength, thereby making the presence and determination of said security information difficult without knowing said specific invisible wavelength.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
87 words
A hologram multiply recorded for security said hologram comprising: photoelectrically readable security information recorded as a Lippman hologram so as to be reconstructible only with a specific invisible wavelength in an infrared or ultraviolet region; and at least one other pattern information multiply recorded as a Lippman hologram in an overlapping relationship with said security information and being reconstructible with light of a wavelength different from said specific invisible wavelength, thereby making the presence and determination of said security information difficult without knowing said specific invisible wavelength.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A hologram according to claim 1, wherein said wavelength associated with said at least one other pattern information, which is different from said specific invisible wavelength, includes a visible wavelength.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A hologram according to claims 1 or 2, which is provided on a part or the whole of a card.
