Vortex fiber nulling (VFN) is a technique for detecting and characterizing faint companions at
small separations from their host star. A near-infrared (∼ 2.3 μm) VFN demonstrator mode …

Discovering exoplanets in orbit around distant stars via direct imaging is fundamentally
impeded by the high dynamic range between the star and the planet. Coronagraphs strive to …

The JWST NIRSpec integral field unit (IFU) presents a unique opportunity to observe directly
imaged exoplanets from 3 to 5 μm at moderate spectral resolution (R∼ 2700) and thereby …

Broadband low-resolution near-infrared spectrographs in a compact form are crucial for
ground-and space-based astronomy and other fields of sensing. Astronomical spectroscopy …

Exoplanets can be detected very close to stars using single-mode cross-aperture nulling
interferometry, a photonic technique that relies on the inability of an anti-symmetric stellar …

We summarize the current best polychromatic (10 to 20% bandwidth) contrast performance
demonstrated in the laboratory by different starlight suppression approaches and systems …

Photonic lantern nulling (PLN) is a method for enabling the detection and characterization of
close-in exoplanets by exploiting the symmetries of the ports of a mode-selective photonic …
