Abstract

The Gemini Planet Imager’s performance was limited by speckle noise from post-coronagraph aberrations and internal optical imperfections. As part of the GPI 2.0 calibration unit upgrade, we demonstrate closed loop focal plane wavefront sensing and control techniques to enable higher contrast and smaller inner working angles. We present the experimental results of the classical speckle nulling method on a self-coherent camera, with contrast improvement by up to a factor of 3.2.
