Spectrum’s corner-cube retroreflectors are made in-house using a custom-designed staging apparatus that securely holds each first-surface flat mirror in place. Each of the 3 mirrors is fine-tuned to optimize orthogonality between them.
Once the optimal orientation is achieved, each optical flat is glued in place using an industrial-strength adhesive. A final measurement of orthogonality is performed once the adhesive has been cured.
When built in this fashion, the Spectrum corner-cubes average less than 10 arcseconds of deviation from mutual-face orthogonality and many are less than 3 arcseconds! With this level of quality, one can be assured optimal alignment of reflected radiation. Spectrum produces front-surface gold (for infrared radiation) and enhanced aluminum for (ultraviolet radiation) cubes that are then assembled into arrays to increase the reflected area.
Spectrum’s innovative technology offers superior solutions for your applications. The instruments can be custom designed to provide accuracy and stability even in the harshest environments.
