First high-contrast results on THD2 testbed after infrastructure upgrade
Iva Laginja, Pierre Baudoz, Rémi Soummer +17
We present the first scientific results delivered by the upgraded THD2 high-contrast imaging testbed. We report two advances enabled by its improved stability and broadband perform…
SUPPPPRESS: Prototyping and testing liquid-crystal vector vortex coronagraphs with reduced polarization leakage
Rico Landman, David Doelman, Jeroen Rietjens +16
The vortex coronagraph is one of the most promising candidates for the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) due to its excellent theoretical performance for an off-axis telescope. A…
Prototyping liquid-crystal coronagraphs for exo-Earth imaging
Iva Laginja, David Doelman, Frans Snik +12
This paper presents initial results from the ESA-funded ``SUPPPPRESS'' project, which aims to develop high-performance liquid-crystal coronagraphs for direct imaging of Earth-like…
Integrated photonic-based coronagraphic systems for future space telescopes
Niyati Desai, Lorenzo König, Emiel Por +38
The detection and characterization of Earth-like exoplanets around Sun-like stars is a primary science motivation for the Habitable Worlds Observatory. However, the current best te…
Design of the Life Signature Detection Polarimeter LSDpol
Christoph U. Keller, Frans Snik, C. H. Lucas Patty +11
Many biologically produced chiral molecules such as amino acids and sugars show a preference for left or right handedness (homochirality). Light reflected by biological materials s…
