We test also the possibility of using L-G modes to build coronagraph mask. We realized in the laboratory a prototype using a blazed l=1 hologram to simulate the separation between two stars, as observed with a telescope, in Laguerre-Gaussian modes.2 pages, XLIX meeting of the Italian Astronomical Society (SAIT)Astrophysicstext
