Telescope interferometers: an alternative to classical wavefront sensors
Francois Henault
Several types of Wavefront Sensors (WFS) are nowadays available in the field of Adaptive Optics (AO). Generally speaking, their basic principle consists in measuring slopes or curv…

Computing extinction maps of star nulling interferometers
Francois Henault
Herein is discussed the performance of spaceborne nulling interferometers searching for extra-solar planets, in terms of their extinction maps projected on-sky. In particular, it i…

Signal-to-noise ratio of phase sensing telescope interferometers
Francois Henault
This paper is the third part of a trilogy dealing with the principles, performance and limitations of what I named "Telescope-Interferometers" (TIs). The basic idea consists in tra…
