Repository for the data analysis tools used in the paper "Polarization Aberrations in the GSMTs II: Influence of segment-to-segment variations on high-contrast imaging and polarimetry". This repo contains a simulator script gsmts.py which calls Poke and HCIPy to simulate the polarization aberrations and propagate them through a coronagraph model.
This is a follow up to our previous paper Anche et al 2023
Paper I
- Optical design perscription ✔️
- Summary of ray tracing ✔️
- Comparison of coating, reflection coeffs, diattenuation, retardance ✔️
- Jones pupil comparison ✔️
- Coronagraph with perfect coronagraph and contrast limits ✔️
Paper II
- Segment Errors: Missing segments, misalignments, psf polarization
- Coating non-uniformity on segments
- Impact on polarimetry of stars and debris disks
