About the Lab
The Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) is a research laboratory at Princeton University led by Professor Jeremy Kasdin and comprising of an interdisciplinary group of faculty,...
Pupil mapping is a promising and unconventional new method for high contrast
imaging being considered for terrestrial exoplanet searches. It employs two
(or more) specially designed aspheric...
High contrast imaging from space relies on coronagraphs to limit diffraction and a wavefront control systems to compensate for imperfections in both the telescope optics and the coronagraph....
Direct imaging of extrasolar planets, and terrestrial planets in particular, is an exciting but difficult problem requiring a telescope imaging system with unprecedented levels of contrast....
