Integrated coronagraphy and wavefront sensing with the PIAACMC
arXiv:2310.10892 · doi:10.1117/12.2677825
Abstract
Uncorrected wavefront errors create speckle noise in high-contrast observations at small inner-working angles. These speckles can be sensed and controlled by using coronagraph integrated wavefront sensors. Here, we will present how the Phase Induced Amplitude Apodized Complex Mask Corongraph (PIAACMC) can be integrated with both a Self-Coherent Camera (SCC) for focal plane wavefront sensing and an extremely sensitivity high-order pupil plane Zernike wavefront sensor (ZWFS). Non-common path aberrations can be completely erased by integrating both sensors into the PIAACMC, which is of extremely high importance in high-contrast imaging.
