Combining a Diffraction-Limited Coronagraph with Fiber Nulling: A Demonstration of Serially Coupling Different Nullers

Satoshi Itoh, Taro Matsuo, Reiki Kojima +3

We present experimental results of an efficient small-IWA (1 ) high contrast imaging approach realized by co-optimizing a coronagraph front-end with a fiber nulling 2nd…

Japan's Possible Contributions for Coronagraph of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO)

Keigo Enya, Kenta Yoneta, Naoshi Murakami +20

In this paper, we describe Japan's possible contributions for coronagraph of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) based on our independent study. We are considering to contribute…

A New Perspective on Matrix Representation of Paraxial Geometric Optics using Two Kinds of Three-Matrix Decompositions of the Special-Linear-Group Matrices

Satoshi Itoh

We require decomposition methods for the ABCD-matrix formulation in rotationally symmetric paraxial geometric optics when designing a multi-component optical system from a given si…

Experimental Validation for Serial Conjunction of Diffraction-limited Coronagraph and Fiber Nuller

Satoshi Itoh, Taro Matsuo, Reiki Kojima +2

We report the experimental results of a serially conjoined nuller system, which combines a type of Lyot coronagraph with a fiber nuller. The utilized one-dimensional diffraction-li…

Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE). XIV. Finding terrestrial protoplanets in the galactic neighborhood

Lorenzo Cesario, Tim Lichtenberg, Eleonora Alei +62

The increased brightness temperature of young rocky protoplanets during their magma ocean epoch makes them potentially amenable to atmospheric characterization to distances from th…

Wide-Spectral-Band Nuller Insensitive to Finite Stellar Angular Diameter with a One-Dimensional Diffraction-Limited Coronagraph

Satoshi Itoh, Taro Matsuo, Motohide Tamura

Potentially habitable planets around nearby stars less massive than solar-type stars could join targets of the spectroscopy of the planetary reflected light with future space teles…

Experimental Verification of a One-Dimensional Diffraction-Limit Coronagraph

Satoshi Itoh, Taro Matsuo, Shunsuke Ota +5

We performed an experimental verification of a coronagraph. As a result, we confirmed that, at the focal region where the planetary point spread function exists, the coronagraph sy…

Simulations of the Spectral Resolving Power of a Compact Space-Borne Immersion-Echelle Spectrometer Using Mid-Infrared Wave Tracing

Satoshi Itoh, Daisuke Ishihara, Takehiko Wada +5

We performed wave-optics-based numerical simulations at mid-infrared wavelengths to investigate how the presence or absence of entrance slits and optical aberrations affect the spe…

Point Spread Function of Hexagonally Segmented Telescopes by New Symmetrical Formulation

Satoshi Itoh, Taro Matsuo, Shibai Hiroshi +1

A point spread function of hexagonally segmented telescopes is derived by a new symmetrical formulation. By introducing three variables on a pupil plane, the Fourier transform of p…
