Detecting exoplanets with high contrast coronagraphy
The first images of exoplanets are now in hand, but the imaging of even fainter planets near bright stars requires the development of very high contrast detection techniques. The two necessary aspects are precise wavefront control and efficient starlight rejection. These essential aspects were recently demonstrated at the Palomar Observatory on a 1.5 m diameter “well-corrected subaperture” on t...
متن کاملNijboer-Zernike phase retrieval for high contrast imaging
We introduce a novel phase retrieval method for astronomical applications based on the Nijboer-Zernike (NZ) theory of diffraction. We present a generalized NZ phase retrieval process that is not limited to small and symmetric aberrations and can therefore be directly applied to astronomical imaging instruments. We describe a practical demonstration of this novel method that was recently perform...
متن کاملHigh contrast imaging lab
The vortex coronagraph is a transparent phase-based coronagraph which imprints an eilθ phase ramp (or screw dislocation) on the point spread function (PSF) of the telescope+instrument. l is called the topological charge of the vortex, and quantifies the number of times the phase goes through 2π radians. For the vortex to be an efficient coronagraph, the topological charge has to be a non-zero e...
متن کاملThe Vector Vortex Coronagraph: Laboratory Results and First Light at Palomar Observatory
High-contrast coronagraphy will be needed to image and characterize faint extra-solar planetary systems. Coronagraphy is a rapidly evolving field, and many enhanced alternatives to the classical Lyot coronagraph have been proposed in the past ten years. Here, we discuss the operation of the vector vortex coronagraph, which is one of the most efficient possible coronagraphs. We first present rec...
متن کاملAnnular Groove Phase Mask Coronagraph
We present a new phase mask coronagraph consisting in an optical vortex induced by a space-variant surface relief subwavelength grating. Phase mask coronagraphy is a recent technique aiming at accommodating both high dynamic and high angular resolution imaging of faint sources around bright objects such as exoplanets orbiting their parent stars or host galaxies of active galactic nuclei. Subwav...
