Performance

Scientific paper

We have built a band-limited image mask for the PHARO near-IR instrument at the Hale 200 telescope at Palomar. This technology is coupled to an off-axis optical configuration that can deliver K-band Strehl ratios as high as 94%. Due to the linear geometry of the coronagraphic mask, we have the ability to observe visual binary stars. We present here our predicted performance and preliminary results.
