Annular 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...
متن کاملAn achromatic eight - octant phase - mask coronagraph using photonic crystal
For direct detection of faint exoplanets, high-contrast imagers would be indispensable for strongly suppressing central bright stars. In particular, extremely high contrast of 10−10 will be needed for detecting Earth-like planets. An eight-octant phase-mask (EOPM) coronagraph is one of promising concepts because of its high-contrast performance, small inner working angle, and simple optical con...
متن کاملThe Four-Quadrant Phase Mask Coronagraph. II. Simulations
In the rst article (Rouan et al. 2000) we have described the principle of a coronagraph utilizing a four-quadrant phase-mask and the results of numerical simulations obtained in the perfect case. In this second article, we have performed additional numerical simulations to assess in more detail the performances and limitations of this coronagraph under real conditions. The eeect of geometrical ...
متن کاملExperiment 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, ...
