Current laboratory performance of starlight suppression systems, and potential pathways to desired Habitable Worlds Observatory exoplanet science capabilities
Bertrand Mennesson, Ruslan Belikov, Emiel Por +34
We summarize the current best polychromatic (10 to 20 % bandwidth) contrast performance demonstrated in the laboratory by different starlight suppression approaches and systems des…
Experimental demonstration of spectral linear dark field control at NASA's high contrast imaging testbeds
Phillip K. Poon, Axel Potier, Garreth Ruane +6
Due to the low flux of exoEarths, long exposure times are required to spectrally characterize them. During these long exposures, the contrast in the dark hole will degrade as the t…
Comparative laboratory study of electric field conjugation algorithms
Niyati Desai, Axel Potier, Susan F. Redmond +5
Future space telescope coronagraph instruments hinge on the integration of high-performance masks and precise wavefront sensing and control techniques to create dark holes essentia…
Random Vibration Testing of Microelectromechanical Deformable Mirrors for Space-based High-Contrast Imaging
Axel Potier, Camilo Mejia Prada, Garreth Ruane +11
Space-based stellar coronagraph instruments aim to directly image exoplanets that are a fraction of an arcsecond separation and ten billion times fainter than their host star. To a…
Microelectromechanical deformable mirror development for high-contrast imaging, part 1: miniaturized, flight-capable control electronics
Eduardo Bendek, Garreth Ruane, Camilo Mejia Prada +3
Deformable mirrors (DMs) are a critical technology to enable coronagraphic direct imaging of exoplanets with current and planned ground - and space-based telescopes as well as futu…
Wavefront sensing and control in space-based coronagraph instruments using Zernike's phase-contrast method
Garreth Ruane, J. Kent Wallace, John Steeves +14
Future space telescopes with coronagraph instruments will use a wavefront sensor (WFS) to measure and correct for phase errors and stabilize the stellar intensity in high-contrast…
