Abstract :
Modulating Retro-reflector terminal does not need capture, tracking, targeting(ATP) sub-system .The key unit of this type structure is corner- cube prism,its performance will cause the light beam intensity distribution and light beam divergence angle .There are several factors ,such as effective area , right-angle accuracy, surface-type errors .Those errors caused loss of light power result in communication fail,so in this paper we made a precise analysis as a supplement.
