ABSTRACT The Palomar Fiber Nuller (PFN) is a rotating-baseline nulling interferometer that
enables high-accuracy near-infrared (NIR) nulling observations with full azimuth coverage …

The basic advantage of single-mode fibers for deep nulling applications resides in their
spatial filtering ability, and has now long been known. However, and as suggested more …

Integrated-optic components are being increasingly used in astrophysics, mainly where
accuracy and precision are paramount. One such emerging technology is nulling …

This paper provides a derivation from first principles of the stringent symmetry and stability
requirements which deep stellar nulling demands, and also includes a brief status report on …

ABSTRACT The Keck Interferometer Nuller (KIN), the first operational separated-aperture
infrared nulling interferometer, was designed to null the mid-infrared emission from nearby …

The characterization of exoplanets is critical to understanding planet diversity and formation,
their atmospheric composition, and the potential for life. This endeavour is greatly enhanced …

ABSTRACT A new" self-calibrated" statistical analysis method has been developed for the
reduction of nulling interferometry data. The idea is to use the statistical distributions of the …

Characterisation of exoplanets is key to understanding their formation, composition and
potential for life. Nulling interferometry, combined with extreme adaptive optics, is among the …

Nulling interferometry is one of the most promising technologies for imaging exoplanets
within stellar habitable zones. The use of photonics for carrying out nulling interferometry …

The field of nulling interferometry has seen significant progress over the past several years,
in both the conceptual and experimental arenas. Deep, broadband nulling has been …
