Direct imaging for detection of Earth-like exoplanets requires 1010 levels of starlight suppression in the optical system's PSF. Usage of an external occulter is one of prime candidate methods for a space-based high contrast imaging mission. At Princeton we have setup a subscale experiment to test theoretical predictions of the electric downstream from an occulter and usage of out-of-band information for sensing in support of formation flight. We present the experiment and latest results for high-contrast imaging with this system and out-of-band sensing for formation flight.
