▎ 摘　　要

The conventional nanoscale anti-counterfeiting scheme, exhibiting limited encoding capacity, faces growing challenges of being falsified with the advent of advanced high-resolution equipment. In this study, we propose a multilevel anti-counterfeiting device based on a femtosecond laser (fs-laser) treated plasmonic gold nanocluster/graphene (AuNC/Gr) hybrid structure integrated with a resonant cavity. The covert structural features encoded in random colored patterns, optical reflection spectra, and Raman spectra constitute three classes of anti-counterfeiting signatures, which originate from the AuNC-covered Gr, which initiates plasmonic and thermal couplings. The attendant inverted thermal distribution is presumed to confine the structural features to the AuNC-Gr interface while leaving no detectable traces on the surface of AuNC/Gr even under advanced high-resolution equipment. Therefore, the proposed approach achieves multilevel anti-counterfeiting accomplishing physically unclonable functions in the form of random colored patterns, reflection spectra, and Raman spectra. As the first report for realizing remarkable optical modulation (i.e., random colored patterns) without any surface trace or damage via fs-laser-AuNC/Gr interaction, our study also discloses the outstanding performance of Gr in fs-laser-induced optothermoplasmonic lithography on near-percolation metal films. Simultaneously, the demonstrated fs-laser-processed plasmonic hybrid structure in conjunction with a resonant cavity is anticipated to expand the encoding capabilities for nanoscale anti-counterfeiting while avoiding the risk of being imitated because of the covert structural features.
