Bragg gratings are utilized in different advanced applications, including lasers, sensing, and spectrometers. This study demonstrates a synthesis of photo-sensitive silicon oxynitride-doped silicon containing distributed Bragg gratings (BGs) on a flexible substrate as a wearable material and utilization of this flexible material in the information storage inscribed by a femtosecond laser light. The BGs were designed and fabricated to possess a unique hyper-spectral reflection behavior from ultra-violet to near-infrared region. To make it user-friendly, the inscribed message *L* can be observed in an indoor or outdoor light at certain viewing angles, such as 45° with respect to the normal surface of the flexible BG. Furthermore, the message can also be observed at certain polarizations. Furthermore, we will show in the framework of ab initio calculations the first-time formation of silicon oxynitride crystals from Si3N4 crystals present in Si layers.
