High-contrast imager for complex aperture telescopes (HiCAT): 8. Dark zone demonstration with simultaneous closed-loop low-order wavefront sensing and control
Rémi Soummer, Emiel H. Por, Raphaël Pourcelot +27
We present recent laboratory results demonstrating high-contrast coronagraphy for the future space-based large IR/Optical/Ultraviolet telescope recommended by the Decadal Survey. T…
Low-order wavefront control using a Zernike sensor through Lyot coronagraphs for exoplanet imaging: II. Concurrent operation with stroke minimization
R. Pourcelot, E. H. Por, M. N'Diaye +16
Wavefront sensing and control (WFSC) will play a key role in improving the stability of future large segmented space telescopes while relaxing the thermo-mechanical constraints on…
Low-order wavefront control using a Zernike sensor through Lyot coronagraphs for exoplanet imaging
R. Pourcelot, M. N'Diaye, E. H. Por +19
Combining large segmented space telescopes, coronagraphy and wavefront control methods is a promising solution to produce a dark hole (DH) region in the coronagraphic image of an o…
Wavefront tolerances of space-based segmented telescopes at very high contrast: Experimental validation
Iva Laginja, Jean-François Sauvage, Laurent M. Mugnier +8
Context: The detection and characterization of Earth-like exoplanets (exoEarths) from space requires exquisite wavefront stability at contrast levels of . On segmented te…
Experimental validation of active control of low-order aberrations with a Zernike sensor through a Lyot coronagraph
Raphaël Pourcelot, Mamadou N'Diaye, Emiel H. Por +11
Future large segmented space telescopes and their coronagraphic instruments are expected to provide the resolution and sensitivity to observe Earth-like planets with a 10^10 contra…
Estimating low-order aberrations through a Lyot coronagraph with a Zernike wavefront sensor for exoplanet imaging
Raphaël Pourcelot, Mamadou N'Diaye, Greg Brady +13
Imaging exo-Earths is an exciting but challenging task because of the 10^-10 contrast ratio between these planets and their host star at separations narrower than 100 mas. Large se…
Experimental validation of coronagraphic focal-plane wavefront sensing for future segmented space telescopes
Lucie Leboulleux, Jean-François Sauvage, Rémi Soummer +6
Direct imaging of Earth-like planets from space requires dedicated observatories, combining large segmented apertures with instruments and techniques such as coronagraphs, wavefron…
High-contrast imager for complex aperture telescopes (HiCAT): 5. first results with segmented-aperture coronagraph and wavefront control
Remi Soummer, Gregory R. Brady, Keira Brooks +19
Segmented telescopes are a possibility to enable large-aperture space telescopes for the direct imaging and spectroscopy of habitable worlds. However, the complexity of their apert…
High-contrast Imager for Complex Aperture Telescopes (HiCAT): 6. Software Control Infrastructure and Calibration
Christopher Moriarty, Keira Brooks, Remi Soummer +5
High contrast imaging using coronagraphy is one of the main avenues to enable the search for life on extrasolar Earth analogs. The HiCAT testbed aims to demonstrate coronagraphy an…
Phase-Retrieval-Based Wavefront Metrology for High Contrast Coronagraphy
Gregory R. Brady, Christopher Moriarty, Peter Petrone +5
We discuss the use of parametric phase-diverse phase retrieval as an in-situ high-fidelity wavefront measurement method to characterize and optimize the transmitted wavefront of a…
James Webb Space Telescope Optical Simulation Testbed V: Wide-field phase retrieval assessment
Iva Laginja, Greg Brady, Remi Soummer +14
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Optical Simulation Testbed (JOST) is a hardware simulator for wavefront sensing and control designed to produce JWST-like images. A model of t…
Phase-Occultation Nulling Coronagraphy
Richard G. Lyon, Brian A. Hicks, Mark Clampin +1
The search for life via characterization of earth-like planets in the habitable zone is one of the key scientific objectives in Astronomy. We describe a new phase-occulting (PO) in…
