Fig. 6: Polarization-dependent FFDP of retroreflector assembly 6. a
From: Space object identification via polarimetric satellite laser ranging
Far-field diffraction pattern (FFDP) measured at an incidence angle of ϕ = 30∘ when irradiated with right-circular polarization (Tx=RC) and detected with right-circular polarization (Rx=RC). b Same as panel a, but for Tx=RC and Rx=LC. c Same as panel a, but for Tx=LC and Rx=RC. d Same as panel a, but for Tx=LC and Rx=LC.
