• SPHERE: the exoplanet imager for the Very Large Telescope (2019, background): “…coronagraphy and its interaction with adaptive optics in the early 2000s (Rouan et al. 2000; Sivaramakrishnan et al. 2001, 2002; Perrin et al. 2003; Soummer et al. 2003) as well as innovative observing strategies (Racine et al. 1999; Marois et al. 2006) quickly paved the way toward a new…”
• Wide-Field InfrarRed Survey Telescope-Astrophysics Focused Telescope Assets WFIRST-AFTA 2015 Report (2015, background): “The Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraph (APLC) combines both an apodized entrance pupil with a focal plane mask and Lyot stop to improve on the starlight rejection of the classical design and better allow for central obstructions (Aime et al. 2001, Soummer et al. 2003).”
• Limits of Adaptive Optics for High-Contrast Imaging (2005, background): “Several designs have been proposed to mitigate (Soummer et al. 2003a; Rouan et al. 2000) or solve (Baudoz et al. 2000) this problem.”
• Theoretical Limits on Extrasolar Terrestrial Planet Detection with Coronagraphs (2006, methodology): “This is achieved in the Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraph, APLC, described in Soummer et al. (2003), where the entrance pupil of a Lyot coronagraph with a hard edge focal plane occulter is optimally apodized.”
• The Structure of High Strehl Ratio Point-Spread Functions (2003, background): “The idea of telescope apodization has been explored in several studies (e.g., Black (1980); Watson et al. (1991); Nisenson & Papaliolios (2001); Aime et al. (2002); Soummer et al. (2003)).”
• Phase-induced amplitude apodization of telescope pupils for extrasolar terrestrial planet imaging (2003, background): “For example, it can produce a pupil suitable for the phase mask coronagraph (Roddier & Roddier, 1997), which can only reach full coronagraphic extinction with a suitably apodized pupil (Guyon & Roddier, 2000, Aime et al., 2002, Guyon & Roddier, 2002, Soummer et al., 2003).”
• Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraphs for Arbitrary Telescope Apertures (2004, methodology): “The APLC solution is to smooth out the pupil transmission so that the wave diffracted by the mask matches the pupil wave.”
• Exoplanet Imaging with a Phase-induced Amplitude Apodization Coronagraph. I. Principle (2004, unknown): “This law applies to both interferometers (Labeyrie et al. 1996) and monolithic pupils (Guyon 2003; Soummer et al. 2003; Traub & Vanderbei 2003) and prevents the PIAAI from directly forming good-quality wide-field images.”
