Abstract
The invention is an optical labeling/identification system that comprises an optical interrogator, optical label and a programmer. The optical label stores and returns to the interrogator different parts of a wavelength code word. The programmer programs the optical labels with a programming light beam to change the wavelength response of the labels. Interrogation and programming of the labels can be accomplished from a stand off distance without physical contact between the label and the interrogator/programmer. The label may be applied to uneven, wrinkled or discontinuous surfaces.
