Motivated by the desire to image exosolar planets, recent work by us and others has shown that high-contrast imaging
can be achieved using specially shaped pupil masks. To date, our masks...
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...
We present yet another new family of masks for high-contrast imaging as required
for the to-be-built terrestrial planet finder space telescope. We call these masks
checkerboard masks. They...
