Over the past few years, we have developed a concept for an evolvable space telescope
(EST) that is assembled on orbit in three stages, growing from a 4× 12-m telescope in Stage …

A major goal of proposed future space observatories, such as the Habitable World
Observatory, is to directly image and characterize Earth-like planets around Sun-like stars to …

In this paper we apply a vector representation of physical optics, sometimes called
polarization aberration theory to study image formation in astronomical telescopes and …

Polarization aberrations are found in most optical components due to a materials differing
response to s-and p-polarizations. This differing response can manifest either as …

We present a numerical study of the diffraction effects and controllability of telescope
assembly polarization aberrations on apodized pupil Lyot coronagraph (APLC) and vector …

The vector vortex coronagraph (VVC) is a leading choice for future space-based exoplanet
direct imaging missions due to its simplicity and high throughput. The construction of the …

Biomedical polarimetric methods rely upon precise and accurate polarisation measurement,
both in terms of spatial resolution and correctness of vectorial information. However …

摘要在使用自适应光学系统校正的激光传输系统中, 光学薄膜的偏振效应会造成偏振色差,
导致自适应光学系统的校正能力下降. 基于激光传输系统中常用的卡塞格林系统 …

Point spread function (PSF) is important for evaluating an optical system and image
deblurring. In this paper, we proposed a method to measure space-variant PSF at any depth …

摘要 Because of the continuously increasing detection ability in astronomy, polarization
aberrations are playing increasingly important roles in the performance of astronomical …
