We have studied a coronagraph system with an unbalanced nulling interferometer (UNI). An important characteristic is a pre-reduction of the star light to 1/100 at the UNI stage which enables to enhance the final contrast. In other point of view, the UNI stage magnifies the wavefront aberrations, which lead us to compensate for the wavefront aberrations beyond the AO systems capabilities. It consists of the UNI, adaptive optics, and a coronagraph. In our experiments, we have observed the extra speckle reduction of better than 0.07 by the advantage of the UNI system. In order to obtain better contrast, we planned to reconstruct all of the optics, which use UNI with 4QPM, a coronagraph with 8OPM or VVM, a dual feedback control method, and a wavefront correction inside the UNI by an upstream AO.
