Focal-plane contrast before and after wavefront control for a zeroth magnitude star. The images in the top row are from the channel that has light from the pinhole, while the images on the bottom are from the channel with the blocked pinhole. The wavefront aberrations of this simulation are phase only (75 nm ptv), which allows for control of the full control region with a single DM. The control loop ran for 25 iterations, and the final dark hole contrast is well below 10−8 for channel 2. The contrast in the dark hole of channel 1 is limited by the light from the pinhole.
