Profils PIAA FPM

A spare FPM from the PIAACMC was tested on the separate coronagraphic test bench installed on the SPEED bench. Performance obtained by the FPM alone (without apodization of the M1 and M2 mirrors of the PIAACMC), and therefore indirectly its optical quality, were successfully validated. The performances obtained on the SPEED-like pupil are in agreement with the performances expected on this test bench. The bench uses the same pupil configuration and Lyot stop as on SPEED (without segmentation), and the F-number at the coronagraphic focus is also the same.
