Impact of segmented deformable mirrors on high-contrast testbeds for exoplanet imaging with future large space telescopes: contrast stability assessment on the HiCAT bench
Segmented DM misalignments on HiCAT degrade coronagraph contrast by a factor of 2.5 from 0.5e-8, matching lab observations and stressing the need for sub-nm cophasing control for the Habitable Worlds Observatory.
