Digging dark holes on-sky with the Self-Coherent Camera: Preliminary results
Elena Tonucci, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Jared R. Males +17
Current high-contrast imaging instruments are limited by wavefront errors originating from non-common path aberrations (NCPAs) due, for example, to manufacturing errors in the opti…

Sub-diffraction-limited coronagraphic imaging with nano-printed PIAACMC phase masks
Elena Tonucci, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Warren B. Foster +22
Imaging Earth-like exoplanets in the habitable zone of their host star is among the main science objectives of future ground-based and space-based observatories. However, the extre…

Demonstration of simultaneous PIAA- coronagraphy and wavefront sensing using a single metasurface-based focal-plane optic
Dhwanil Patel, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Skyler Palatnick +23
Controlling residual wavefront aberrations downstream of an extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) system is a major challenge in high-contrast imaging. These aberrations produce quasi-sta…
