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 …

Nulling interferometry has emerged as a promising technique for imaging exoplanets,
effectively overcoming the challenges of contrast and angular resolution faced by ground …

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

Nulling stellar interferometry may enable the discovery of earth-like planets around other
stars. In nulling mode, the zero order fringe is destructive and on axis, thus cancelling light …

Deep, stable nulling of starlight requires careful control of the amplitudes and phases of the
beams that are being combined. The detection of earth-like planets using the interferometer …

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

Suppression of starlight by nulling interferometry has the potential to enable the direct
detection of planets around nearby stars, and several interferometer configurations have …

In nulling interferometry, an on-axis source such as a star is interferometrically attenuated
(“nulled”) so that the surrounding area can be investigated for fainter objects. One challenge …

The technique of nulling interferometry is helping to overcome the challenges of directly
detecting exoplanets and is the foundation for the Guided Light Interferometric Nulling …

Nulling interferometry has been proposed for the direct detection of Earth-like planets. Deep
stable nulls require careful control of the relative intensity and phase of the beams that are …
