Holographic Space Telescope Takes Aim at the Next 'Planet Earth'
TROY, N.Y., Oct. 27, 2021 — To support the discovery of planets outside the solar system, scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) created an experimental space telescope that can directly analyze the spectra of an exoplanet. The main component of the Dual Use Exoplanet Telescope (DUET) is a Fresnel hologram that can transform incident starlight directly into a spectrogram. Fresnel holographic elements are created by exposing a light-sensitive plastic film to two sources of light positioned at different
