Abstract
The space coronagraph optical bench (SCoOB) is a high contrast imaging testbed designed to demonstrate starlight suppression techniques at visible wavelengths in a space-like vacuum environment. Since the previous proceedings, the testbed has undergone major component upgrades, including a 100%-yield BMC Kilo-C deformable mirror, a black silicon pupil stop, and circular polarizers between wedged substrates. To assess the performance limits imposed by lateral chromatic aberration induced by refractive optical elements, we develop analytic and numerical tools to predict the broadband contrast. Additionally, we present the broadband contrast performance of the testbed using implicit electric field conjugation with multiple sensing bands for broadband control.
