Simulation tools for realistic high-order wavefront correction with the Roman Coronagraph
A. Lau, A. J. Riggs, S. F. Redmond +9
The Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument (Roman CGI) will demonstrate high-contrast imaging from space using coronagraphic masks, deformable mirrors, and high-order wavefro…
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…
Black Silicon BRDF and Polarization for Coronagraphic Pupil Masks
Emory L. Jenkins, Ramya M. Anche, Kyle J. Van Gorkom +2
Future space observatories will likely have segmented primaries, causing diffraction effects that reduce coronagraph performance. Reflective binary pupil apodizer masks can mitigat…
Implicit Electric Field Conjugation Through a Single-mode Fiber
Joshua Liberman, Jorge Llop-Sayson, Arielle Bertrou-Cantou +4
Connecting a coronagraph instrument to a spectrograph via a single-mode optical fiber is a promising technique for characterizing the atmospheres of exoplanets with ground and spac…
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…
