We conducted a number of multi-color/broadband coronagraph experiments using a vacuum chamber and a binary-shaped pupil mask, which in principle should work at all wavelengths, in the context of the research and development of a stellar coronagraph to observe extra-solar planets (exoplanets) directly. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that...

FIRST, the Fibered Imager foR a Single Telescope instrument, is an ultra-high angular resolution spectro-imager, able to deliver calibrated images and measurements beyond the telescope diffraction limit, a regime that is out of reach for conventional AO imaging. FIRST achieves sensitivity and accuracy by coupling the full telescope to an array...
