摘要: We derive the broadband contrast floor in a coronagraphic telescope having nonideal optical surfaces. consider only fundamental spatial frequencies within control bandwidth of coronagraph's deformable mirror. Cross terms arising from beating beyond mirror will be considered second paper. Two wavefront systems are analyzed:a zero-path difference Michelson interferometer with two mirrors at pupil image, and sequential pair one placed image. requirements on surface figure reflectivity uniformity for both cases.
