Scientific paper

A nulling interferometer for direct detection and spectral studies of the light from extra-solar planets would face daunting technical challenges. We outline a candidate optical architecture, discussing the major challenges in handling the starlight and controlling the optics to produce a deep on-axis null with high transmission a fraction of an arcsecond away.
