Method of Calculating Retroreflector-Array Transfer Functions
Item — Box: 1, Folder: 28
Abstract
This report presents methods for computing the properties of the reflection from a cube-corner array when it is illuminated by a laser pulse. Such information is useful in the design of satellite retroreflector arrays and ground tracking equipment as well as in the analysis of the data obtained. The methods derived include the effects of coheent interference, diffraction, polarization and dihedral-angle offsets.
