Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraphs for Arbitrary Telescope Apertures
Open accessAbstract
In the context of high dynamic range imaging, this study presents a breakthrough for the understanding of apodized pupil Lyot coronagraphs, making them available for arbitrary aperture shapes. These new solutions find immediate application in current, ground-based coronagraphic studies (Gemini, VLT) and in existing instruments (Advanced Electro-Optical System Lyot Project). They also offer the possibility of a search for an on-axis design for the Terrestrial Planet Finder . The unobstructed aperture case has already been solved by C. Aime et al. and R. Soummer et al. Analytical solutions with identical properties exist in the general case and, in particular, for centrally obscured apertures. Chromatic effects can be mitigated with a numerical optimization. The combination of analytical and numerical solutions enables the study of the complete parameter space (central obstruction, apodization throughput, mask size, bandwidth, and Lyot stop size).

“This formal problem has been solved analytically for rectangular and circular unobstructed apertures (Aime et al. 2001, 2002; Soummer et al. 2003b) involving linear and circular prolate functions (Slepian & Pollak 1961; Frieden 1971; Papoulis 1981).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
