Recent advances in high-contrast exoplanet imaging instrumentation have introduced the concept of adaptive coronagraphy. For example, liquid-crystal-on-silicon spatial light modulators (SLMs) can be used as programmable phase masks or digital micro-mirror devices as configurable pupil apodizers. Adaptive coronagraphy o...

The world’s first adaptive stellar coronagraph, the Programmable Liquid-crystal Active Coronagraphic Imager for the 4-m DAG telescope (PLACID) uses a spatial light modulator operating from H- to Ks-band to dynamically adjust the focal-plane phase mask entirely in software. Positioned between the TROIA XAO system and th...

The SAXO+ system is a planned second-stage Adaptive Optics (AO) upgrade to the VLT/SPHERE eXtreme Adaptive Optics (SAXO) system. This consists of adding a second adaptive optics stage using a near-infrared pyramid wavefront sensor to record images of fainter exoplanets around redder stars. In this work, we compare the...
