Record 8 1994-01-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optics
  • Measuring Instruments
CONT

Laser range finders and radars often utilize the corner cube retroreflector as a cooperative target. The corner cube is a small but highly efficient reflective system which ideally redirects all incoming light back along the path of incidence.

CONT

Glass beads that are embedded less than 50% or more than 75% of the diameter in the paint [in a highway-pavement marker] will not act as efficient retroreflectors.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Optique
  • Appareils de mesure
CONT

L'Office Nationale d'Études et de Recherches Aérospatiales (ONERA) a mis au point une station de radar laser destinée à la localisation de mobiles (télémétrie et goniométrie) et à la localisation et l'étude d'aérosols (enregistrement de la rétro-diffusion) [...]. La portée en télémétrie pour un satellite est de 2 500 à 3 500 km et, pour un avion sans rétroréflecteur, de 25 km.
