Performance characterization of a broadband vector Apodizing Phase Plate coronagraph
G. P. P. L. Otten, F. Snik, M. A. Kenworthy +2
One of the main challenges for the direct imaging of planets around nearby stars is the suppression of the diffracted halo from the primary star. Coronagraphs are angular filters t…

The Vector-APP: a Broadband Apodizing Phase Plate that yields Complementary PSFs
Frans Snik, Gilles Otten, Matthew Kenworthy +4
The apodizing phase plate (APP) is a solid-state pupil optic that clears out a D-shaped area next to the core of the ensuing PSF. To make the APP more efficient for high-contrast i…
