As the number of confirmed exoplanets continues to grow, there is an increased push to spectrally characterize them to determine their atmospheric composition, formation paths, rotation rates, habitability, and much more. However, there is a large population of known exoplanets that either do not transit their star or have been detected at very small angular separations such that they are inaccessible to traditional coronagraph systems. Vortex Fiber Nulling (VFN) is a new single-aperture interferometric technique that uses the entire telescope pupil to bridge the gap between RV methods and traditional coronagraphy by enabling the direct observation and spectral characterization of targets at and within the diffraction limit. By combining a vortex mask with a single mode fiber, the on-axis starlight is rejected while the off-axis planet light is coupled and efficiently routed to a radiometer or spectrograph for analysis. We have demonstrated VFN in the lab monochromatically in the past. In this talk we present a polychromatic validation of VFN with null depths of 1e-4 across 10% bandwidth light. We also provide an update on deployment plans and predicted yield estimates for the VFN mode of the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (KPIC) instrument. Using PSISIM, a simulation package developed by our group, we asses KPIC VFN's ability to detect and characterize different types of targets including known exoplanets detected via the RV method. The KPIC VFN on-sky demonstration will pave the road to deployment on future instruments like HISPEC and MODHIS where it could provide high-resolution spectra of sub-Jupiter mass planets down to 5 milliarcseconds from their star.
