Coronographs for Laser-Guide Star Adaptive Optics at the Starfire Optical Range
We present the fabrication and characterization of coronographs for testbed evaluation at the Air Force Research Laboratory Starfire Optical Range. These coronagraphs represent photolithographically patterned fused silica substrates with anti-reflection, reflective, and absorptive multilayer coatings.
