Active focal plane phase mask coronagraphy with a discrete pixelated device: I. Study of the theoretical performance trade space
Liurong Lin, Axel Potier, Ruben Tandon +2
Recent advances in high-contrast exoplanet imaging instrumentation have introduced the concept of adaptive coronagraphy. For example, liquid-crystal-on-silicon spatial light modula…
The PLACID active coronagraphic imager instrument: commissioning status
Ruben Tandon, Lucas Marquis, Liurong Lin +9
The world's first adaptive stellar coronagraph, the Programmable Liquid-crystal Active Coronagraphic Imager for the 4-m DAG telescope (PLACID) uses a spatial light modulator operat…
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…
Enhanced wavefront sensing for the Roman Coronagraph Instrument: Gaussian probes and compact model validation
Lukas Delaye, Iva Laginja, Pierre Baudoz +10
The Coronagraph Instrument on the Roman Space Telescope will be the first space-based system to demonstrate closed-loop focal-plane wavefront sensing and control, a key step toward…
CATKit2-HCI: a collaborative framework for advancing high-contrast coronagraph testbeds
Rémi Soummer, Iva Laginja, Emiel H. Por +19
High-contrast exoplanet imaging requires dedicated laboratory testbeds for the development and validation of coronagraph architectures, wavefront sensing and control methods, calib…
Coherence differential imaging using gradient-boosted decision trees for the direct detection of exoplanets
Johan Mazoyer, María J. Mellado-Tenorio, Axel Potier +4
Coronagraphic imaging of exoplanets is limited by residual speckles that mimic planets. Advanced post-processing is essential for current and future instruments on the ground or in…
SAXO+, the second-stage adaptive optics for SPHERE: NCPA compensation and dark-hole loop with a pyramid wavefront sensor
Johan Mazoyer, Charles Goulas, Raphaël Galicher +21
The SAXO+ upgrade of the VLT/SPHERE adaptive optics system introduces a second-stage near-infrared pyramid wavefront sensor to improve high-contrast imaging, making accurate calibr…
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…
Continuing to Advance European High Contrast Imaging Research and Development towards HWO and LIFE
Gael Chauvin, Oscar Carrion Gonzalez, Iva Laginja +20
The European Research and Development for Space based High Contrast Imaging II Workshop, held at MPIA in May 2025, advanced Europe strategic coordination in support of future exopl…
