New method to achieve the proper polarization state for a vector vortex coronagraph

Jorge Llop-Sayson, Cole Kappel, Nemanja Jovanovic +1

The vector vortex coronagraph (VVC) performance in the laboratory and in ground-based observatories has earned it a spot on the NASA mission concepts HabEx and LUVOIR. The VVC indu…
