Abstract:

A technique for determining the effective scattering area of retroreflective catadioptric (reflective–refractive) devices is presented. An experimental setup for measuring the effective scattering area and comparative calculated and measurement data on the effect of fabrication errors on the characteristics of retroreflective elements are presented.

Keywords:

effective scattering area, retroreflexion, retroreflective reflective–refractive elemetns, laser radiation, radiation divergence
