A Tutorial on Retroreflectors and Arrays Used in Satellite and Lunar Laser Ranging
The present paper discusses the basics of retroreflector theory and the manner in which they are combined in arrays to service the laser tracking of artificial satellites and the Moon. We begin with a discussion of the relative advantages and disadvantages of solid versus hollow cube corners and the...
