Background:

Conventional diffractive barcodes share bar arrangements with diffusive barcodes.
Existing diffractive barcode designs present limitations in distinct pattern generation.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a modified diffractive barcode with novel bar arrangements.
To differentiate diffractive barcode patterns from diffusive barcode patterns.

Main Methods:

Designing a modified diffractive barcode pattern using parallel grating-dot lines.
Scanning the grating-dot lines sequentially with a laser beam.

Main Results:

The modified diffractive barcode pattern produces unique bright bar arrangements.
Sequential scanning generates distinct codes corresponding to the bar patterns.

Conclusions:

The proposed modified diffractive barcode offers a distinct approach to bar arrangement.
This novel design enables unique code generation through laser scanning of grating-dot lines.
