Abstract The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) advances studies of solar
magnetism through high-precision and accuracy in polarimetry at frontier spatial and …

Context. Next-generation large segmented mirror telescopes are expected to perform direct
imaging and characterization of Earth-like rocky planets, which requires contrast limits of …

Vortex coronagraphs are an attractive solution for imaging exoplanets with future space
telescopes due to their relatively high throughput, large spectral bandwidth, and low …

Polarization aberrations originating from the telescope and high-contrast imaging instrument
optics introduce polarization-dependent speckles and associated errors in the image plane …

Off-axis optical systems have several important advantages over on-axis ones. However,
high polarization aberrations, which play important roles in many applications, become …

Here we present modeling of the polarization aberrations of the Gemini telescope as seen
by the Gemini Planet Imager's dual-channel polarimetry mode. We first calculate the Jones …

Polarization remote sensing technology expands the dimensions of the target and enriches
its basic information over traditional remote sensing methods. During the imaging process …

Due to the ability to achieve a wide-diffraction-limited field of view, three-mirror anastigmat
(TMA) telescopes are widely used in many applications that demand high imaging quality …

Astronomical instruments greatly improve wavelength multiplexing capabilities by using
beam splitters. In the case of the 4-m National Science Foundation's Daniel K. Inouye Solar …

Context. To directly image rocky exoplanets in reflected (polarized) light, future space-and
ground-based high-contrast imagers and telescopes aim to reach extreme contrasts at close …
