TAGFREE sensor technology principle

TAGFREE sensor technology uses LEDs to distinguish and detect taggants through Raman scattering,
and identifies materials by afterglow shape and decay time.
It is the world's first technology, patented, and detects substances using a combination of three LED wavelengths.

  • LED, not Laser

    In order to cause Raman scattering, high energy irradiated by a laser is required, but through a change in idea, taggant detection was successful with an ordinary LED.

  • Non-spectrum afterglow

    Rather than directly observing the spectrum shift that occurs during Raman scattering, the idea was that the shape of the afterglow and decay time that necessarily accompany this are different for each material.

  • Patent registration

    The world's first technology to recognize different types of
    taggant on portable devices

  • 3 instead of 1

    Since the shape and extinction time of the afterglow were not clearly different, the material ID was successfully detected by combining each afterglow signal detected through three LEDs of different wavelengths.

Examples of TAGFREE sensor technology use

  • 2016

    Banknote Discriminator

    A device that uses optical sensor technology to detect counterfeit bills by simultaneously checking various security elements applied to bills while counting bills.

  • 2017

    counterfeit detector

    A single-sheet counterfeit detector that identifies counterfeit bills by checking the taggant element applied to the bill.

  • 2021

    casino chip detector

    A device that detects the taggant applied to casino chips and classifies them by face value to check for counterfeiting.
