Paper Abstract
The NASA Exoplanet program and the Cosmic Origins program are exploring technical options to combine the visible
to NIR performance requirements of a space coronagraph with the general astrophysics requirements of a space
telescope covering the deep UV spectrum. Are there compatible options in terms of mirror coatings and telescope
architecture to satisfy both goals? In this paper, we address some of the main concerns, particularly relating to
polarization in the visible and throughput in the UV. Telescope architectures employing different coating options
compatible with current technology are considered in this trade study.
