The Segmented Aperture Interferometric Nulling Testbed (SAINT) I: overview and air-side system description
2016
This work presents an overview of the Segmented Aperture Interferometric Nulling Testbed (SAINT), a project
that will pair an actively-controlled macro-scale segmented mirror with the Visible Nulling Coronagraph (VNC).
SAINT will incorporate the VNC’s demonstrated wavefront sensing and control system to refine and quantify
end-to-end high-contrast starlight suppression performance. This pathfinder testbed will be used as a tool
to study and refine approaches to mitigating instabilities and complex diffraction expected from future large
segmented aperture telescopes.
