Cat's Eye Retroreflector Description
The sapphire cat’s eye retroreflector produced by Coligh are made of high-strength sapphire with high hardness and wear resistance.
- They can adapt to harsh use environments and are suitable for use in a variety of high-end fields.
- The design of multi-layer anti-reflection film and other film can greatly improve the transmittance of visible light and near-infrared bands.
- With the characteristics of impact resistance and high temperature resistance, the sapphire cat’s eye windows can provide stable imaging in harsh environments and ensure a clear and wide observation field of view.
- In addition, we can provide customization of sizes <1000mm, and any shape can be processed.

Cat's Eye Retroreflector Applications
Cat’s eye retroreflector windows have core applications in multiple high-precision fields due to their unique retroreflective properties (light efficiently returns along the incident direction).
For example:
- Cat’s eye reflectors can be used for geodetic surveying, observation and space navigation, providing accurate location information for scientific research
- Through cat’s eye reflectors, spacecraft can maintain stable and clear signal transmission in long-distance communications
- It is widely used in the defense and military aerospace fields for positioning, tracking and monitoring
- They are widely used in precision laser reflection experiments, such as optical ranging model verification, laser interferometry, and orbit parameter simulation experiments
