End-to-end simulation of high-contrast imaging systems: methods and results for the PICTURE mission family

We describe a set of numerical approaches to modeling the performance of spaceflight high-contrast imaging payloads. Mission design for high-contrast imaging requires numerical wavefront error propagation to ensure accurate component specifications. For constructed instruments, wavelength and angle-...
