After two years of development, and many delays due to ground work, asbestos removal, procurement of critical hardware, etc, we have finally performed the first coronagraphic rejection measurements for one of our L-band AGPMs on the Vortex Optical Demonstrator for Coronagraphic Applications (VODCA), now located it its dedicated ISO7 clean room at ULg. The first results look very promising!
