The component comprises a structure engraved on a layer of a material having a refraction index n2, a thin layer of a dielectric material having a refraction index n1 other than n2, deposited on the structure, and a layer of a material having a refraction index n0 other than n1, encapsulating the coated structure of the thin layer. The structure has a first pattern modulated by a second pattern such that, in at least one first region (61, 86), the first pattern comprises a low-relief with a first set of facets, the shapes of which are determined such as to generate at least one first concave or convex cylindrical reflective element, and the second pattern forms a first subwavelength grating acting, after depositing the thin layer and encapsulating the structure, as a first wavelength-subtractive filter; in at least one second region (62, 86), the first pattern comprises a low-relief with a second set of facets in which the shapes are determined such as to generate at least one concave or convex cylindrical reflective element (64), and the second pattern forms a second subwavelength grating acting, after depositing the thin layer and encapsulating the structure, as a second wavelength-subtractive filter, separate from the first wavelength-subtractive filter. Each subwavelength grating can be a zero order diffraction grating such as a DID.
The invention relates to a plasmonic optical security component comprising two layers (2, 4) made of transparent dielectric material and a metal layer (3) arranged between said transparent dielectric material layers in order to form two dielectric-metal interfaces (31, 32). The metal layer is structured to form, on a first coupling region, a first periodic, two-dimensional coupling array (C1) which is capable of coupling surface plasmon modes, which are supported by said dielectric-metal interfaces, to an incident light ray, the first coupling array having a profile which does not have point symmetry in any of the directions thereof, and, on a second coupling region, a second periodic, two-dimensional coupling array (C2) which is capable of coupling surface plasmon modes, which are supported by said dielectric-metal interfaces, to an incident light ray, the second coupling array having a profile which does not have point symmetry in any of the directions thereof and is different from that of the first coupling array.

According to one aspect, the invention relates to a customizable document for producing a customized security document (10, 20). The customizable document includes, according to an alternative: a layer (12) which can be customized by contact-free writing an opaque customization mask that is transparent in at least one transparency area (121); a first multilayer film (102) arranged on a first side of the customizable layer (12), including a layer having a high refractive index and encapsulated between two layers having a low refractive index, and structured over at least a portion of the surface thereof such as to form a first subwavelength array, characterized by a first array vector, such that the first multilayer film acts at zero order as a wavelength subtractive filter; a second multilayer film (102) arranged on a second side of the customizable layer, opposite the first side, including a layer having a high refractive index and encapsulated between two layers having a low refractive index, and structured over at least a portion of the surface thereof such as to form a second subwavelength array characterized by a second array vector, such that the second multilayer film acts at zero order as a wavelength subtractive filter, the first and second arrays being at least partially stacked.

The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing a zero-order diffractive filter comprising a high-index material having an upper surface and a lower surface. The high-index material is positioned between a first low-index matter and a second low-index matter; the lower surface is adjacent to said first low-index matter and the upper surface is adjacent to the second low-index matter. Moreover, the high-index material has an index of refraction that is higher than the index of refraction of both said first low-index matter and said second low-index matter. The method comprises at least the following procedure: selectively providing, by employing at least one wet-coating technique, at least one of the following at least partially: the high-index material onto said first low-index matter.
