Structure of the infrared beam
The infrared beam emitted by the transmitter to the reflector is not a strictly parallel bundle
of rays. It exhibits a certain degree of scattering which makes it conical in shape. The radi-
ation energy decreases towards the outside, so that the beam can be divided into the
three effective, core and scattered regions. The reflector possesses the characteristic to
retransmit the received light.
