Abstract
We present an all optical image amplifier in the pulsed ultraviolet (355 nm) based on photorefractive two wave mixing and its implementation in an optical micro-lithographic system. Due to the high possible amplification factor it is possible to use masks with low damage threshold such as polymeric slides or an amplitude modulator based on liquid crystals. This leads to a versatile system which is independent of expensively prepared masks. The amplified image is de-magnified to the sub-millimetre range and projected onto the target. The main application for our system is the authentication of artifacts by imprinting an individual code onto the item surface.
