Un catadioptre est composé de trois miroirs placés à angle droit dans les trois plans de l'espace [...]. Lorsque la lumière atteint l'un des miroirs, elle est renvoyée vers le deuxième, puis vers le troisième, puis vers l'émetteur. Grâce à la perpendicularité des miroirs, les angles de réflexion se compensent, de manière à envoyer, à la fin, le rayon parallèlement au rayon incident, avec un léger décalage, lié à la distance entre le point d’entrée du rayon sur le premier miroir et le point de convergence des miroirs(décalage le plus souvent négligeable). Sur un catadioptre de vélo, il s’agit d’une multitude de tout petits miroirs, pouvant être surmontés de lentilles, disposés les uns à côté des autres(cette disposition plutôt qu'un grand catadioptre unique ne change rien, à part l'encombrement). 4, record 2, French, - catadioptre
