“…The transfer of this idea to a usable and efficient machining process has been subject of the dissertations of Flucke (2011) and Schönemann (2014) which are only available in German. There are several publications on this matter in English, for example, by Flucke et al (2008) by Brinksmeier et al (2012a) in Precision Engineering, and by Brinksmeier and Schönemann (2014) in the CIRP Annals. Most recently, the process was adopted by Gurganus et al (2017a, b), as the first international group to implement DMC.…”

Diamond Micro Chiseling (DMC) has been established as a machining process for generating miniaturized retroreflective arrays with structure sizes in the micrometer range. This chapter focuses on a comprehensive overview on principles, process performance, and optimizations of DMC for generating micro fullcube retroreflectors on planar surfaces. Furthermore, considerations and initial results for transferring DMC to the machining of curved and freeform surfaces will be shown.

“…In practice, identical truncated corner cubes are arranged to a sheet as an array [16][17][18][19][20]. It would be expected that optical interference across the interfaces of adjacent truncated corner cubes could change the effective retroreflection area of each individual truncated corner cube.…”

By isolating a finite effective volume from a conventional triangular pyramid corner cube, we obtained truncated corner cube structures with greatly enhanced retroreflection efficiency. We explore an optimal truncated corner cube with near 100% retroreflection efficiency based on the expectation that the traveling paths of the optical rays can be localized in the finite effective volume of the structure, and, as a result, truncated corner cubes with perfect efficiency can be produced. As a case study, the retroreflection efficiency of a commercialized 3M truncated corner cube sample is evaluated. Furthermore, it is shown with numerical verification that a truncated corner cube array sheet with near-perfect retroreflection efficiency can be produced.
