摘要
The corner cube plays a key role in many advanced optical systems as the critical retrieval component, while the errors such as dihedral deviation will lead to unacceptable results. We present a method to obtain the right-angle plane deviation of the corner cube only by measuring and calculating the normal incident reflection wavefront. The calculation process is an iterative method of ray tracing based on the corner cube reflection process. The three-dimensional shape of the right-angle plane of the corner cube can be obtained accurately by this method. The proposed method is easy to implement and reliable, and it avoids the complicated operation of the traditional measurement method, which can also be applied to the measurement of the errors in the assembly and adjustment process where corner cube reflectors are used.
