摘要：
Controlling the amplitude of light is crucial for many scientific applications, such as imaging systems, astronomical instruments, optical testing, or laser physics. We provide an overview of the halftoning technique - the process of displaying a continuous image with binary dots - for application to coronagraphy. Customized filters with spatially varying transmission are produced using a binary array of metal pixels (namely microdot masks) that offers excellent control of the local transmission, with intrinsic achromaticity. Applications, design guidelines, and tests of near-IR prototypes for both pupil and focal plane coronagraphic devices are presented in the context of the VLT-SPHERE and E-ELT EPICS instruments.
