A method of calculation of the reflection effectiveness of tetrahedral light reflectors cat's eyes in laser radar systems of medium- and long-wave IR-ranges is set forth which is based on calculation of the aberration-polarization function of the pupil of the eye. Results of calculations of reflection characteristics of various type tetrahedral light reflectors cat's eyes in IR-range are given and analyzed.
