چکیده
Polarization conversion cube-corner retroreflectors rotate the major axis of the incident electric field by 90°. We show that polarization conversion cube-corner retroreflectors cannot be created with isotropic reflecting surfaces, but can be created by incorporating nonisotropic reflecting surfaces. Two types are considered-cube corners with surfaces having elliptical eigenstates and cube corners having subwavelength gratings. Implementations that use subwavelength surface relief phase gratings are investigated, and three examples are shown.

Polarization properties of corner-cube retroreflectors: theory and experiment.
Polarization properties of the corner-cube retroreflector are discussed theoretically by use of ray tracing and analytical geometry. The Jones matrices and eigenpolarizations of the six propagation trips of the corner-cube retroreflector are derived. An experiment is also set up for the determination of the linear eigenpolarizations and the output states of polarization for incident linearly po...
متن کاملNumerical analysis of microretroreflectors: transition from reflection to diffraction
When a retroreflector has periodic structure, it also behaves as a diffraction grating. When its period becomes shorter, the effect of diffraction is more dominant than that of reflection. In particular, when the period steps into the resonance domain, the retroreflector no longer functions, because the number of diffraction orders decreases significantly and diffraction to the desired directio...
