Abstract
A reflector arrangement having at least one retroreflector and at least one sensor arrangement arranged downstream of the retroreflector in relation to a beam incidence direction, having a sensor. The sensor arrangement comprises a code element—having a code pattern, and the retroreflector, the code element—and the sensor are arranged in such a way that the code element—is arranged between the retroreflector and the sensor and an angle-dependent position with respect to the optical axis of a projection of the code pattern onto the detection surface can be determined by means of the sensor.

1-15. (canceled)
A reflector arrangement for position determination or marking target points, the reflector arrangement comprising:
- at least one retroreflector, which
- provides position determination for the reflector arrangement by means of parallel measurement beam reflection, and
- provides a passage surface for at least a part of measurement radiation entering the retroreflector, and
- at least one sensor arrangement, arranged downstream of the retroreflector in relation to a measurement beam incidence direction, the sensor arrangement having a sensor for recording measurement radiation passing through the passage surface, the sensor defining an optical axis oriented orthogonally with respect to its detection surface,
- wherein:
- the sensor arrangement includes a code element having a code pattern, and
- the retroreflector, the code element, and the sensor being arranged such that:
- the code element is arranged between the retroreflector and the sensor, and
- an angle-dependent position with respect to the optical axis of a projection of the code pattern onto the detection surface can be determined by means of the sensor.
