| Jan 1, 2019 at 22:31 | comment | added | Dr Xorile | The angle of reflection does not seem to be equal to the angle of incidence. Although why not just go straight for the detector? | |
| Jan 1, 2019 at 22:27 | comment | added | SteveV | @A.P. tried to redraw it and its close. Also, I took the mirror pointed to by the arrow to avoid any issue with that being in the way. | |

| Jan 1, 2019 at 22:10 | comment | added | A. P. | The "oblique reflection" made me think that you mean stray light. Can you show your solution with less wrinkeled beams and a real-size mirror? Because I actually tried my best to avoid exactly this solution. | |
| Jan 1, 2019 at 22:06 | comment | added | SteveV | @A.P. I'm not sure what you mean. Why would it be stray light? if they are perfect mirrors, you will get the whole beam. What i'm not sure about is if there is a gap big enough to hit the second mirror by detector B at the right angle, but thats what I'm trying! i suggest using a low power laser to check :) | |
| Jan 1, 2019 at 22:03 | comment | added | A. P. | Ok that would solve the aforementioned problem. But what I don't like about this solution is that you only direct stray light into detector B, not the whole beam. I will make this point clear in the question. | |

| Jan 1, 2019 at 21:53 | comment | added | A. P. | But here you changed one of the mirrors that are used to direct the beam onto detector A. | |
