High-contrast imager for complex aperture telescopes (HiCAT): 11. System-level demonstration of the apodized pupil Lyot coronagraph with a segmented aperture in air

We present the final results of the Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraph (APLC) on the High-contrast imager for Complex Aperture Telescopes (HiCAT) testbed, under NASA’s Strategic Astrophysics Technology program. The HiCAT testbed was developed over the past decade to enable a system-level demonstration of coronagraphy for exoplanet direct imaging with the future Habitable Wolds Observatory. HiCAT includes an active, segmented telescope simulator, a coronagraph, and metrology systems (Low-order and Mid-Order Zernike Wavefront Sensors, and Phase Retrieval camera). These results correspond to an off-axis (un-obscured) configuration, as was envisioned in the 2020 Decadal Survey Recommendations. Narrowband and broadband dark holes are generated using two continuous deformable mirrors (DM) to control high order wavefront aberrations, and low-order drifts can be further stabilized using the LOWFS loop. The APLC apodizers, manufactured using carbon nanotubes, were optimized for broadband performance and include the calibrated geometric aperture. The objectives of this SAT program were organized in three milestones to reach a system-like level demonstration of segmented-aperture coronagraphy, from static component demonstration to system-level demonstration under both natural and artificial disturbances. HiCAT is, to this date, the only testbed facility able to demonstrate high-contrast coronagraphy with a truly segmented aperture, as is required for the Habitable World Observatory, albeit limited to ambient conditions, corresponding to NASA’s Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 4. Results presented here include 6 × 10⁻⁸ (90% CI) contrast in 9% bandpass in a 360 deg dark hole with inner and outer working angles of 4.4λ/D_pupil and 11λ/D_pupil. Narrowband contrast (3% bandpass) reaches 2.4 × 10⁻⁸ (90% confidence interval). We first explore the open-loop stability of the entire system quantify the baseline testbed performance. Then we present dark hole stabilization using both high-order and low-order loops under both low-order and segment level drifts in narrow and broadband. We compare experimental data with that obtained by the end-to-end HiCAT simulator. We establish that current performance limitations are due to a combination of ambient conditions, detector and deformable mirrors noises (including quantization), and model mismatch.

Read Abstract +

We explore the high contrast capabilities of large segmented telescopes with Active and Adaptive Optics, with particular focus on a system view, which includes use of approaches that are routine for current large ground-based telescopes. These approaches include continuous Wavefront Sensing and control (WFS&C), and proper partitioning of engineering challenges by optimizing the error budget allocations. We present a methodology to compute wavefront stability requirements in the presence of temporal variations of the observatory optical errors at all spatial scales: global low order aberrations, segment to segment misalignments and high spatial frequencies. We start by deriving the sensitivity of the starlight suppression of a coronagraph instrument (e.g. the relationship between contrast and wavefront variance) for each family of spatial modes. We then propagate open loop wavefronts variances, alongside with the actual photons carrying the information associated with these misalignments, through diffractive linear wavefront sensor models. We calculate the Fisher information of measurements using those. That quantity is then used in the context of a Cramer-Rao bound to evaluate closed loop residuals, which are then propagated through coronagraph models to yield contrast fundamental limits. Working under the assumption that such WFS&C systems will be limited by the information content bottleneck due to the finite magnitude of a natural guide star, we use results from these calculations to quantify observatory requirements for a variety of exoplanet imaging missions. We highlight the similarities and differences between monolithic and segmented architectures, and show that the often-cited need for picometer stability is no longer required for the latter across the full aperture, but rather within combinations of segments. We also consider both the case of batch and recursive wavefront estimators (that take into account the entire sensing history) and make the case for significantly less challenging observatory requirements when the latter class of algorithms is implemented.
