Résumé
Abstract

Notre groupe à Princeton se focalise sur l'étude de coronographes à pupille binaires dans le contexte de l'imagerie à très haut contraste et de la détection d'exo-planètes. Nous étudions en parallèle leur application à des projets spatiaux et à des telescopes conventionnels. Dans cet article, nous introduisons la théorie nécessaire à la conception de tels masques, puis passons en revue différentes familles de diaphragmes capables de produire un contraste de 10 ordres de grandeur. Nous décrivons ensuite la fabrication de ces pupilles binaires et nous présentons nos validations expérimentales, avec et sans controle de front d'onde. Nous discutons les facteurs limitant le contraste au sein de notre banc d'essai et nos projets pour les éliminer.

At Princeton we have been studying shaped pupil coronagraphs for high contrast imaging and planet finding. These will find applications in both ground and space imaging. In this article we summarize the design procedure for shaped pupils and review the various families of designs we have found. We describe the manufacturing processes we have used to make free standing shaped pupil masks and review our most recent laboratory results with and without wavefront control. We also discuss the factors limiting high contrast in the laboratory and our plans for mitigating them.
