Stray light analysis of a reflecting UV Coronagraph/Polarimeter with multilayer optics

An analysis is presented of the stray light expected in a Coronagraph/Polarimeter operating at the H I Lyman (alpha) (Ly-(alpha) ) line ((lambda) 121.6 nm) and utilizing multilayer interference film optics and ultrasmooth substrates (i.e., rms-smoothness Optics & Photonics OP 40 1993-07-11|1993-07-16 SPIE's 1993 International Symposium on Optics, Imaging, and Instrumentation SD93 51144 San Diego, CA, United States X-Ray and Ultraviolet Polarimetry 2010 Astronomical XUV Polarimetry II 2
