... final output radiant energy were 62% and 79% for specular and diffuse reflectors, respectively. These results are similar to what Kim et al. found in their ray-tracing analysis; they concluded that the diffuse surface for the reflector is more efficient than the specular reflector.13 However, when t ...

Retroreflector



A retroreflector (sometimes called a retroflector or cataphote) is a device or surface that reflects light back to its source with a minimum of scattering. In a retroreflector an electromagnetic wavefront is reflected back along a vector that is parallel to but opposite in direction from the wave's source. The angle of incidence at which the device or surface reflects light in this way is greater than zero, unlike a planar mirror, which does this only if the mirror is exactly perpendicular to the wave front, having a zero angle of incidence.
