Annular Groove Phase Mask coronagraph in diamond for mid-IR wavelengths: manufacturing assessment and performance analysis
Christian Delacroix, Pontus Forsberg, Mikael Karlsson +7
Phase-mask coronagraphs are known to provide high contrast imaging capabilities while preserving a small inner working angle, which allows searching for exoplanets or circumstellar…
A diamond AGPM coronagraph for VISIR
Christian Delacroix, Oliver Absil, Dimitri Mawet +6
In recent years, phase mask coronagraphy has become increasingly efficient in imaging the close environment of stars, enabling the search for exoplanets and circumstellar disks. Co…
Development of a subwavelength grating vortex coronagraph of topological charge 4 (SGVC4)
Christian Delacroix, Olivier Absil, Brunella Carlomagno +6
One possible solution to achieve high contrast direct imaging at a small inner working angle (IWA) is to use a vector vortex coronagraph (VVC), which provides a continuous helical…
L'-band AGPM vector vortex coronagraph's first light on LBTI/LMIRCam
D. Defrère, O. Absil, P. Hinz +20
We present the first observations obtained with the L'-band AGPM vortex coronagraph recently installed on LBTI/LMIRCam. The AGPM (Annular Groove Phase Mask) is a vector vortex coro…
The VORTEX project: first results and perspectives
Olivier Absil, Dimitri Mawet, Christian Delacroix +15
(abridged) Vortex coronagraphs are among the most promising solutions to perform high contrast imaging at small angular separations. They feature a very small inner working angle,…
Fundamental limitations of high contrast imaging set by small sample statistics
Dimitri Mawet, Julien Milli, Zahed Wahhaj +9
In this paper, we review the impact of small sample statistics on detection thresholds and corresponding confidence levels (CLs) in high contrast imaging at small angles. When look…
