Focal-plane wavefront sensors for direct exoplanet imaging: Theory, simulations and on-sky demonstrations
One of the key limitations of the direct imaging of exoplanets at small angular separations are quasi-static speckles that originate from evolving non-common path aberrations (NCPA) to which the primary adaptive optics system is inherently blind. The main focus of this thesis is the development and…
