BK7 12.7mm corner cube retroreflectors
Corner cube retroreflectors Description
The 12.7mm corner cube retroreflectors have three mutually perpendicular surfaces and a hypotenuse face.
Light entering through the 12.7mm corner cube retroreflectors’ hypotenuse is reflected by each of the three surfaces in turn and will emerge through the hypotenuse face parallel to the entering beam regardless of the orientation of the incident beam.
For 12.7mm corner cube retroreflectors’ special performance,it is often used to the distance measurement, optical signal process and laser.

Corner Cube Retroflectors are used to reflect light beam back to the direction that it comes from. The reflected beam is always parallel to the incident beam, and it travels in the reverse direction of the incident beam. This holds true regardless of the angle of incident beam. The beam reflection is achieved either through total internal reflection or by a mirror coating on the rear surfaces of the retro-reflector.An incident beam, filling the effective aperture, is reflected exactly back on itself. Protective AL coating can be applied to the rear reflecting surfaces to avoid total internal reflection failure at high incident angle.
