Coupling starlight into single-mode fiber optics.

Stuart Shaklan, +1 more
- 01 Jun 1988 - 
TL;DR: The efficiency with which starlight can be coupled into a single-mode fiber optic that is placed in the focal plane of a telescope and the dependence on the f-ratio of the incident beam is explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Taking the Measure of the Universe: Precision Astrometry with SIM PlanetQuest

TL;DR: The Space Interferometry Mission PlanetQuest (SIM PlanetQuest) as discussed by the authors was the first interferometer designed for precision astrometry, achieving a parallax of about 4 μas on targets as faint as V = 20, and differential accuracy of 0.6 μas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Closed loop, DM diversity-based, wavefront correction algorithm for high contrast imaging systems

TL;DR: A general closed loop correction algorithm for high contrast imaging coronagraphs is presented by minimizing the energy in a predefined region in the image where terrestrial planets could be found by reconstructing the complex field in theimage plane using phase diversity caused by the deformable mirror.

The Habitable Exoplanet Observatory (HabEx) Mission Concept Study Interim Report

B. Scott Gaudi, +185 more
TL;DR: The Habitable Exoplanet Observatory, or HabEx, has been designed to be the Great Observatory of the 2030s, a space telescope with unique imaging and multi-object spectroscopic capabilities at wavelengths ranging from ultraviolet (UV) to near-IR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reflectivity and optical surface height requirements in a broadband coronagraph. 1. Contrast floor due to controllable spatial frequencies.

TL;DR: The broadband contrast floor in a coronagraphic telescope having nonideal optical surfaces is derived and requirements on optical surface figure and reflectivity uniformity for both cases are derived.
