Method and system for laser marking precious stones, such as diamonds Method and system for laser marking precious stones, such as diamonds / 2357870
Present invention relates to the method and system for laser marking precious stones and, particularly to the method and system for engraving authentication codes. In the system for laser marking precious stones such as diamonds, marks consist of several microscopic dots, increase of which can be initiated upon effect on natural internal defects or impurities inside the precious stone of a strictly focused laser pulse sequence. The marks are inscribed by laser pulses, carrying significantly less energy than threshold energy required for inscription inside ideal material of precious stone. The method of laser marking and encryption takes into account random spatial distribution of defects, present in natural precious stones, as well as their much localised character. Authentication data are encrypted in the precious stone in the relative spatial arrangement of dots which form a mark. Dots, engraved under the surface of the precious stone, can be made undetectable to the naked eye and a magnifier through limiting their individual size to several micrometres. The mark can be detected using a special optical reading device.

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for localization of the inclusions in the diamond.

Up to the present time to determine inclusions in diamonds used several ways (GB 2081439, US 4152069), and they all have disadvantages associated with the difficulty of localization of the inclusions with respect to the outer surface of the diamond. Mainly, can be obtained two-dimensional image of the diamond, which will lead to inaccurate localization of such inclusions.

The purpose of the invention is to overcome the aforementioned disadvantages, and the method according to the invention is characterized by the fact that the diamond is fixed on the holder, specified the diamond in the holder investigate (measured) at a predefined angle to get the image, then perform the second measurement to obtain two sets of data, calculated on a computer, for localization of the inclusion relative to the outer surface of the specified diamond. According to the first variant implementation of the invention, the method also differs in that the diamond is fixed on the holder, with the specified diamond carrier detect under a predefined angle to obtain the reference image, then perform the change of direction, which carried out the study of the diamond at least once to get the changes, while image data of EIT is it in the computer to calculate a three-dimensional image, including one or each time relative to the reference.

After making a clear localization of the inclusion relative to the outer surface of the diamond indicated the diamond can be easily cut on the optimal plane is computed using a computer. Specified the optimal plane passes through the inclusion so that when cut diamond inclusion disappears.

Although the viewing direction relative to the diamond can be realized by changing the position of the scanner, and so forth, according to the invention it is easier to do a rotation and/or movement of the holder with the diamond in relation to the fixed direction of observation.

In addition, one of the purposes of the invention consists in the introduction of the correction coefficient associated with the refractive index of diamond, which should be taken into account when calculating, in the case where the scanning direction deviates from the direction of observation perpendicular to the surface of the diamond.

For a simpler implementation of accurate localization and/or determine the volume of the inclusions in the diamond, you can use the optical cylinder, the diameter and the direction of detection is used for calculation on the computer.

According to another implementation variant of the invention, the inclusion can be localized using the scanner with the device on which I focus, to obtain depth positions along the specified direction of observation by focusing specified inclusion.

The invention is illustrated by the following description of embodiments of the invention, which consists in the localization of the inclusions in the diamond.

Via a suitable actuator can be rotation of the holder and/or the movement of a holder for placing the diamond on the optical axis A, which is the optical axis of the projection light beam 7 is projected through a diamond on a semi-permeable mirror, reflecting the image of the diamond on the microscope and/or camera 3 and the scanner 4.

When projecting light it is possible to set the holder 2 in the correct position relative to the scale of the microscope manually performed by the operator. The scanner 4 is used to obtain the necessary data for the specified image and use the data in calculations on the computer.

Single cylinder (or line) so that the inclusion was within the specified cylinder (or met the specified line). The same procedure (stages a and b) carry out several different positions

c) Various locations see or browse through the different facets of a diamond, or browsing through the same face, but in different directions. Register a different set of displacements and rotations: X2...Xn, Y2...Yn, Z2...Znthat α2...αnthat β2...β nthat γ2...γn.

d) the location of the inclusions within the diamond is calculated from registered displacements and rotations, scanning the outer surface and the refractive index of diamond. The position of the inclusion is defined as the nearest point of intersection of lines or cylinders created in stage b. Glyph of turn 8 is projected in the scanned image.
