研究目的
Investigating the performance of the self-coherent camera in achieving high contrast levels for direct imaging of exoplanets in both monochromatic and polychromatic light.
研究成果
The self-coherent camera technique has been improved, achieving contrast levels better than 3 × 10?8 in the 5–12 λ/D zone in monochromatic light and better than 4 × 10?8 in narrow bands. Current limitations are due to amplitude defects and coronagraph chromaticity. Future improvements include studying the multireference SCC and using more achromatic coronagraphs.
研究不足
The contrast level is currently limited by the amplitude aberrations on the bench. The chromaticity of the coronagraph and the blurring of fringes in broader bandwidths also limit performance.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed the self-coherent camera technique to minimize the complex amplitude of the speckle field in the focal plane, using a four-quadrant phase-mask coronagraph and a 32 × 32 actuator deformable mirror.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Laboratory tests were conducted using a monochromatic laser diode and a filtered supercontinuum laser source for polychromatic light.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The setup included an optical fiber source, a four-quadrant phase-mask coronagraph, a deformable mirror, and various spectral filters.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The method involved creating an interaction matrix for each filter, performing active correction on a half-dark hole, and measuring contrast levels.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The contrast levels were retrieved by normalizing by the highest value of a noncoronagraphic image for the same source intensity.
