Abstract

The standard AIC (Achromatic Interfero Coronagraph) has a “coudé” geometry (the output beam leaves at right angle from the input beam). Thus, some extra optical parts are required to fit such a device within the optical train between a telescope and its IR camera. To avoid this drawback, we present two mono-axial variants of the AIC.
