Tips and Tricks

IntelliWave has a new Corner Cube Measurement Wizard, making these measurements super easy.
Corner cubes reflect light rays back to their source. If they are not made correctly the beams will not return correctly to the source. Perfect corner cubes will have zero beam deviation and zero angle error. Realistically most cubes will have some error.

IntelliWave™ 6 can measure corner cube prisms and/or retro-reflectors.  A corner cube consists of three reflecting facets forming 90º angles with each other. The corner cube can be made from separate mirrored facets or a single piece of glass. In IntelliWave™ 6's Corner Cube Wizard, various results are available including beam deviation, angle error, and wavefront quality for each of the facets.
