摘要: We describe a coronagraphic optic for use with CONICA at the VLT that provides suppression of diffraction from 1.8 to 7 λ/D 4.05 microns, an optimal wavelength direct imaging cool extrasolar planets. The optic is designed provide 10 magnitudes contrast 0.2 arcseconds, over "D" shaped region in image plane, without need any focal plane occulting mask.
