... In recent years important progress has been made in the generation of ultrashort laser pulses. The maximum intensity is fundamental in many applications, therefore the measurement of these pulses is also fundamental. It is important that these measurements be performed with optical elements that do ...

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.
