Nulling Interferometry

Nulling Interferometry is a specialized form of interferometric technique in astronomical observation that combines light from multiple telescopes with precisely controlled phase delays to suppress the central starlight through destructive interference, thereby enhancing the detection of faint circumstellar emission such as exoplanets or dust disks.
