Current Laboratory Performance Of Starlight Suppression Systems, And Potential Pathways To Desired Habitable Worlds Observatory Exoplanet Science Capabilities

We summarize the current best polychromatic (10 to 20 % bandwidth) contrast performance demonstrated in the laboratory by different starlight suppression approaches and systems designed to directly characterize exoplanets around nearby stars.
