Retroreflectors are optical devices that reverse the direction of incidentbeams of light. Here we present a collection of billiard type retroreflectorsconsisting of four objects; three of them are asymptotically perfect retroreflectors,and the fourth one is a retroreflector which is very close to perfect.Three objects of the collection have recently been discovered and published orsubmitted for publication. The fourth object — notched angle — is a new one;a proof of its retroreflectivity is given.Retroreflectors are optical devices that reverse the direction of incidentbeams of light.
