Concept of Laser Locator Systems (Based on the Geometry of the Triangular Corner Cube Reflector).
Abstract
This report provides a brief discussion of a concept for Laser Locator Systems, and for measuring the horizontal and vertical aspect angles of radiation received from a remote laser transmitter. The systems are grouped in retroreflecting systems and non-retroreflecting systems. The non-reflecting systems are subdivided in three-mirror systems and two-mirror systems, of which the last systems have either two parallel located detector arrays, or orthogonally located linear detector arrays. The radiation receiving components are a triangular corner cube reflector, or sets of dihedral mirrors, or flat-strip mirrors. The concept is useful for radiation from the visible to the millimeter wavelength region for a single pulse or continuous radiation, and is insensitive to hot spots in the radiation. (Author)
