Experimental validation of active control of low-order aberrations with a Zernike sensor through a Lyot coronagraph
Raphaël Pourcelot, Mamadou N'Diaye, Emiel H. Por +11
Future large segmented space telescopes and their coronagraphic instruments are expected to provide the resolution and sensitivity to observe Earth-like planets with a 10^10 contra…
Dark zone maintenance results for segmented aperture wavefront error drift in a high contrast space coronagraph
Susan F. Redmond, Laurent Pueyo, Leonid Pogorelyuk +8
Due to the limited number of photons, directly imaging planets requires long integration times with a coronagraphic instrument. The wavefront must be stable on the same time scale,…
Implementation of a broadband focal plane estimator for high-contrast dark zones
Susan F. Redmond, Laurent Pueyo, Leonid Pogorelyuk +6
The characterization of exoplanet atmospheres using direct imaging spectroscopy requires high-contrast over a wide wavelength range. We study a recently proposed focal plane wavefr…
Exploiting symmetries and progressive refinement for apodized pupil Lyot coronagraph design
Emiel H. Por, Rémi Soummer, James Noss +1
Modern coronagraph design relies on advanced, large-scale optimization processes that require an ever increasing amount of computational resources. In this paper, we restrict ourse…
Estimating low-order aberrations through a Lyot coronagraph with a Zernike wavefront sensor for exoplanet imaging
Raphaël Pourcelot, Mamadou N'Diaye, Greg Brady +13
Imaging exo-Earths is an exciting but challenging task because of the 10^-10 contrast ratio between these planets and their host star at separations narrower than 100 mas. Large se…
Predicting contrast sensitivity to segmented aperture misalignment modes for the HiCAT testbed
Iva Laginja, Remi Soummer, Laurent M. Mugnier +10
This paper presents the setup for empirical validations of the Pair-based Analytical model for Segmented Telescope Imaging from Space (PASTIS) tolerancing model for segmented coron…
