Achromatic interfero-coronagraph with two common-path interferometers in tandem

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

To attain deeper nulling for an extended incoherent star disk a scheme for an achromatic interfero-coronagraph, incorporating two common-path interferometers in tandem, is proposed. Analytical and numerical predictions of the performance, which are in reasonably good agreement, are presented. The predicted performance improvement, by using two interferometers in tandem, is demonstrated by a preliminary experiment. A star coronagraph based on the proposed technique has the possibility to reach a 1010 achromatic nulling contrast for an almost 102λ/D effective source size.
