Deep neural networks to improve the dynamic range of Zernike phase-contrast wavefront sensing in high-contrast imaging systems

In high-contrast imaging applications, such as the direct imaging of exoplanets, a coronagraph is used to suppress the light from an on-axis star so that a dimmer, off-axis object can be imaged. To maintain a high-contrast dark region in the image, optical aberrations in the instrument must be minim...
