Tapetum lucidum [SEP] Artificial tapetum lucidum
Manufactured retroreflectors modeled after a tapetum lucidum are described in numerous patents and today have many uses. The earliest patent, first used in "Catseye" brand raised pavement markers, was inspired by the "tapetum lucidum" of a cat's eye. A more recent use of retroreflectors, helping to provide secure communications between two stations in line of sight, is modeled after the combination of "tapetum lucidum" and bioluminescent "flashlight" in flashlight fish of the families Anomalopidae and Stomiidae.
