Modal estimation of high-order wavefront drifts on coronagraphic testbeds for high-contrast direct imaging of exoplanets

Saikrishna Manojkumar, Susan F. Redmond, Leonid Pogorelyuk +13

Long-term wavefront stability will be critical for the upcoming Habitable Worlds Observatory which aims to directly image exo-Earths. Mechanical and thermal instabilities induce sl…
