Abstract

We propose a pre-optical system for a stellar coronagraph to reduce the speckle noise. It consists of an (amplitude-) unbalanced nulling interferometer (UNI) and phase and amplitude correction (PAC) with two deformable mirrors. We have demonstrated that an initial wavefront error of lambda/82 is 3.9 times magnified to lambda/22 by the UNI.
