About this technology

Overview

This software package performs Electric Field Conjugation (EFC) and Wavefront Control (WFC) for space-based, large aperture segmented internal coronagraph observatories. Then computes contrast ratios for detecting exoplanets and other phenomenon orbiting distant stars. It was developed primarily for ATLAST, HabEX, and HWO.
