Experiment of Checkerboard Pupil Mask Coronagraph
Context. We present the results of the first laboratory experiment of checkerboard shaped pupil binary mask coronagraphs using visible light, in the context of the R&D activities for future mid-infrared space missions such as the 3.5 m SPICA telescope. Aims. The primary aim of this work is to demonstrate the coronagraphic performance of checkerboard masks down to a 10 −6 peak-to-peak contrast, ...
متن کاملWavefront Correction in a Shaped-Pupil Coronagraph Using a Gerchberg-Saxton-Based Estimation Scheme
The detection of extra-solar terrestrial planets requires the use of space-based high-contrast imaging. Stellar photon noise as well as light thrown about by system aberrations necessitate the use of a high quality light suppression system and a method for wavefront correction. We present here a wavefront estimation scheme to be used with estimate-based correction for the shaped pupil coronagra...
متن کاملThe Pupil-swapping Coronagraph
A new coronagraph that performs destructive interference between copies of the telescope pupil in which “slices” have been swapped is studied in this paper. A fourth-order “pupil-swapping coronagraph” is particularly attractive for direct imaging of extrasolar terrestrial planets: it achieves 100% throughput at 1.4l/d on a square pupil (72.5% at 1.77 on a circular pupil), is compatible with a c...
متن کاملAnnular Groove Phase Mask Coronagraph
We present a new phase mask coronagraph consisting in an optical vortex induced by a space-variant surface relief subwavelength grating. Phase mask coronagraphy is a recent technique aiming at accommodating both high dynamic and high angular resolution imaging of faint sources around bright objects such as exoplanets orbiting their parent stars or host galaxies of active galactic nuclei. Subwav...
متن کاملExtinction-controlled adaptive phase-mask coronagraph
Context. Phase-mask coronagraphy is advantageous in terms of inner working angle and discovery space. It is, however, still affected by drawbacks such as sensitivity to tip-tilt errors and chromatism. A nulling stellar coronagraph based on the adaptive phase-mask concept using polarization interferometry is presented in this paper. Aims. Our concept aims at dynamically and achromatically optimi...
