Schematic diagram outlining the operation of an infofuse: ignition generates a propagating hot zone. As this zone passes through consecutive zones that contain thermally emissive salts, it emits light at wavelengths characteristic of thermally excited states of species resulting from each salt. The sequence and composition of these patterned salts encodes the information written on the fuse.
