Abstract
The distribution of retroreflected light from an array of corner cube prisms is measured as a function of angle of incidence and beam collimation. The imaging properties of the array are compared to those of a plane mirror in the presence and absence of phase perturbations. The implications for the use of a retroreflective array in absorbance measuring instrumentation are discussed.Keywords
