I now have a trihedral prism, conner cube or retroreflector (are there
any more names for the device?) Using a 5 mw green laser pen with the
reflector set approximately 250 feet away I get an interesting
reflection. The reflection is about an 8 CM diameter from the 4 CM
diameter cube with very noticeable concentric circles. I tried to
photograph the display but was unable to get the exposure right to see
the circles.

I'm guessing this is created by phase cancellation but so far I haven't
been able to confirm this with Google.
