Abstract

Retro-reflectors have been used for a wide range of applications such as traffic safety, special blinds, optical devices, etc. We analyzed the characteristics of the reflected light of a strap retro-reflector as a function of incidence angle. It is expected that various solar control structures may be designed more quantitatively using the characteristic chart we have prepared.

재귀반사체(Retro Reflector)는 그 특별한 기능을 살려 도로 교통안전, 특수 블라인드, 광소자 resonator 등 다양한 분야에서 활용 영역이 넓어져 가고 있다. 특히 근래에는 '재귀반사구조체'를 창문의 차양 및 채광 구조물로서 도입하여 조명을 스마트화하는 경우도 제시되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는, 태양광 조절용 구조물로서, 띠구조를 1차원적으로 단순배열한 '주름판형-재귀반사체', St-RR(Strap type-Retro Reflector) 구조를 정의하고, 입사각도에 따라 그 반사광의 특성을 분석하였다. 또한, 이 특성 결과를 용이하게 파악할 수 있도록 시각화한 특성 도표를 고안하였고, 이를 이용하여 각종 태양광 조절 구조물을 보다 정량적으로 설계할 수 있음을 보였다.
