| Abstract: | The field of nulling interferometry has seen significant progress over the past several years, in both the conceptual and experimental arenas. Deep, broadband nulling has been demonstrated at optical wavelengths, the techniques have seen initial implementation on telescopes, and the introduction of a symmetric beam-combiner concept has eliminated many of the residual obstacles. Here an overview is provided of promising techniques for effecting the deep cancellation of starlight, and recent results obtained with laboratory and astronomical nulling interferometers are discussed. The next step is the exploitation of nulling techniques at 8-10 m class separated-aperture telescope facilities, and in this vein, a brief overview of the architecture of the Keck Interferometer Nuller is also provided. |
