Redundant Apodized Pupils (RAP)

The RAP concept can be applied on coronagraphic instruments combined with segmented primary mirror telescope. It aims to reduce the constraints of segment phasing (piston, tip, and tilt) by 1) optimizing the apodization of the elementary segment and 2) reproducing this apodization on all segments, mimicking the mirror segmentation. In Leboulleux et al. [submitted in 2021], the RAP concept is applied on a Giant Magellan telescope- like pupil combined with an Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraph (APLC) on one hand and with an Apodizing Phase Plate (APP) coronagraph on the other hand. This folder provides all the files to reproduce the coronagraphs of the paper and test their robustness.
