The unwanted sunlight that enters a coronagraph through the diffraction process is the limiting factor for viewing the solar corona. The techniques initiated by Lyot and expanded by Newkirk and Bohlin for coronagraphs with an external occulating assembly are presented. Scientific requirements for even better stray light suppression in the inner corona, and for observation of a broader spectrum now call for more sophisticated optical designs. The approaches for these improved characteristics, the problems they present and the methods to overcome these problems in the coronagraph for the International Solar Polar Mission (ISPM) are discussed.
