Nulling Interferometers for Space-based High-Contrast Visible Imaging and Measurement of Exoplanetary Environments

High-contrast astronomical imaging has progressed significantly in the past decade. Many of these techniques have been laboratory demonstrated to perform at contrast levels adequate for the detection of Solar System-like planets and dust around nearby stars. None of them, however, have been demonstr...
