Abstract
A laminate structure along with one or more security features is disclosed. The laminate structure may correspond to an identification document, such as an identification card, and may include a core layer with one or more security elements established thereon. As light is emitted into the core layer, the light impacts one or more of the security elements and is re-radiated back out of the core layer, thereby providing an indication that the laminate structure includes the security elements and is, therefore, authentic.
