C, IWA, OWA
Contrast C: Example: C = 10-10 driven by Earth/Sun = 2x10-10.
Inner working angle IWA:Example: IWA = 3 /D driven by 1 AU/10pc = 0.100 arcsec.
Outer working angle OWA: Example: OWA = 48 /D driven by N = 96 actuator DM.

Discrete-mapped pupil (2): Densification
Entrance pupil, sparsely filled
FOV is small.

Continuous-mapped pupil
Compact star image, easily blocked
Input wavefront: uniform amplitude.
Mirror 1
Mirror 2
Output wavefront:prolate-spheroidal amplitude.
100 dB = 10-10 = 25 mag
Output image:prolate spheroid

Phase ripple and speckles
No DM:
With DM:
Phase ripples from primarymirror errors
Polishing errorson primary
Speckles generated by 3 sinusoidalcomponents of thepolishing errors
