Fig. 5: Symmetry parameters of retroreflector assemblies.
From: Space object identification via polarimetric satellite laser ranging
a Calculated symmetry parameters for different corner-cube retroreflector (CCR) assemblies as defined in Table 1. The calculation is described in Supplmentary Note 1. b Symmetry parameters measured in laboratory experiments. The error bars for the experimental data account for the dependence on the incidence angles and hold for of ϕ = ±30∘ for CCR assemblies 1 and 2 and for ϕ = ±40∘ for CCR assemblies 3–7.
