- Nulling in Optical Interferometry: VLTI/GENIE
GENIE is the Ground based European Nulling Interferometry Experiment. Build by ESA as technology demonstrator for DARWIN and to become a full facility instrument for ESO's VLTI. The science objective of GENIE is to observe a couple of hundred candidate stars for DARWIN in order to measure the zodiacal light and bright orbiting extra-solar planets.
