Abstract
Utilizing an image orientation function, this chapter proves the finding of Schweitzer et al. (Appl Opt 37:5190–5192, 1998) that only two types of optically stable reflector system exist, namely preserving or retro-reflecting. The chapter also presents an analytical method for designing optically stable reflector systems comprising multiple reflectors.
