Limits of Adaptive Optics for High-Contrast Imaging (2005, background): “A FPWFS is preferable if the contrast at very small IWA needs to be optimized.”
Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraphs for Arbitrary Telescope Apertures (2004, methodology): “This general formalism enables the study of apodized shaped pupils (Kasdin et al. 2003), hybrid designs, as well as multiple stage coronagraphy (Aime et al. 2001; Aime & Soummer 2004a).”
Optimal Occulter Design for Finding Extrasolar Planets (2007, methodology): “Several methods (see Kasdin et al. 2003; Kuchner&Traub 2002; Vanderbei 2006;Guyon 2003) have been proposed to do thiswithin the telescope by adjusting the point spread function so that there is very little starlight at the location of the planet in the image plane of the telescope.”
Theoretical Limits on Extrasolar Terrestrial Planet Detection with Coronagraphs (2006, methodology): “In the PSF delivered by binary apodization masks, this fraction is typ- ically about 50%: there is a factor ≈ 2 difference between the mask throughput and the “Airy throughput” (Kasdin et al. 2003) useful for detection.”
Exoplanet Imaging with a Phase-induced Amplitude Apodization Coronagraph. I. Principle (2004, background): “Various apodization functions or pupil shapes have been suggested to produce a PSF with very dark areas at small angular distances (Jacquinot et al. 1964; Kasdin et al. 2003; Vanderbei et al. 2003).”

EXOPLANET ALBEDO SPECTRA AND COLORS AS A FUNCTION OF PLANET PHASE, SEPARATION, AND METALLICITY (2010, background): “Examples of some current direct imaging methods include high-performance coronagraphs (Kuchner & Traub 2002; Kasdin et al. 2003; Guyon et al. 2005; Trauger & Traub 2007; Mawet et al. 2009), external occulters (Cash 2006), and optical nullers (Wallace et al. 2000; Martin Levine et al. 2006), as well…”
High-Contrast Imaging from Space: Speckle Nulling in a Low-Aberration Regime (2005, background): “…underlying these speckle-nulling techniques are general, it should be possible to use them in conjunction with most coronagraph designs, including those with band-limited masks (Kuchner & Traub 2002), pupil mapping (Guyon et al. 2005; Vanderbei & Traub 2005), and shaped pupils (Kasdin et al. 2003).”
