The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE) is an envisioned nulling interferometry space mission to characterize the atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets in the mid-infrared (MIR) wavelength range (∼4-18.5 μm.) The star-to-planet flux contrast for an Earth-twin exoplanet is ≈ 10⁷ at these wavelengths. Previous studies have shown that a “raw” null-depth of 10⁵ provided by the interferometer is sufficient as long as the residual starlight can be removed through signal modulation, phase-chopping and data post processing. Two main technological challenges for a nulling interferometer are instrument stability and sensitivity. Several test-benches were built for LIFE’s ancestral mission concepts DARWIN and TPF-I. Operating at ambient conditions, they demonstrated excellent stability and suppressed the artificial starlight by up to 10⁶ (depending on the spectral bandpass). However, instrument sensitivity/throughput for astronomical sources can not be characterized at background dominated ambient conditions. Cooling the instruments to cryogenic conditions reduces the thermal background and enables sensitivity driven instrument characterization. The Nulling Interferometer Cryogenic Experiment (NICE) is a single Bracewell nulling interferometer test-bench for LIFE. The ultimate aim of this test-bench is to attain a sensitivity level that demonstrates the feasibility of detecting an Earth-twin around a Sun-like star at 10 pc with a spectral bandwidth of 10% at 10 μm. The development of NICE is divided into two phases, the warm and cold phase. The warm phase focuses on the alignment of the optical components and maintaining their position and angular stability to achieve a null depth of 10⁻⁵ − 10⁻⁶ at 4 μm over several hours. In the cold phase, NICE will be cooled to 15 K to suppress the thermal background, and the throughput and sensitivity of the instrument will be characterized. This paper describes the development plan of NICE and presents the optical layout of the NICE warm phase. It also presents the preliminary null-depth reached by the NICE warm phase and the residual alignment errors in the system.

The Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph (ERIS) is the next-generation adaptive optics near-IR imager and spectrograph for the Cassegrain focus of the Very Large Telescope (VLT) Unit Telescope 4, which will soon make full use of the Adaptive Optics Facility (AOF). It is a high-Strehl AO-assisted instrument that will use the Deformable Secondary Mirror (DSM) and the new Laser Guide Star Facility (4LGSF). The project has been approved for construction and has entered its preliminary design phase. ERIS will be constructed in a collaboration including the Max- Planck Institut für Extraterrestrische Physik, the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich and the Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri and will offer 1 - 5 μm imaging and 1 - 2.5 μm integral field spectroscopic capabilities with a high Strehl performance. Wavefront sensing can be carried out with an optical high-order NGS Pyramid wavefront sensor, or with a single laser in either an optical low-order NGS mode, or with a near-IR low-order mode sensor. Due to its highly sensitive visible wavefront sensor, and separate near-IR low-order mode, ERIS provides a large sky coverage with its 1’ patrol field radius that can even include AO stars embedded in dust-enshrouded environments. As such it will replace, with a much improved single conjugated AO correction, the most scientifically important imaging modes offered by NACO (diffraction limited imaging in the J to M bands, Sparse Aperture Masking and Apodizing Phase Plate (APP) coronagraphy) and the integral field spectroscopy modes of SINFONI, whose instrumental module, SPIFFI, will be upgraded and re-used in ERIS. As part of the SPIFFI upgrade a new higher resolution grating and a science detector replacement are envisaged, as well as PLC driven motors. To accommodate ERIS at the Cassegrain focus, an extension of the telescope back focal length is required, with modifications of the guider arm assembly. In this paper we report on the status of the baseline design. We will also report on the main science goals of the instrument, ranging from exoplanet detection and characterization to high redshift galaxy observations. We will also briefly describe the SINFONI-SPIFFI upgrade strategy, which is part of the ERIS development plan and the overall project timeline.
