Abstract: Context. Phase-mask coronagraphy is advantageous in terms of inner working angle and discovery space. It is, however, still affected by drawbacks such as sensitivity to tip-tilt errors and chromatism. A nulling stellar coronagraph based on the adaptive phase-mask concept using polarization interferometry is presented in this paper.
