Abstract
In recent years interferometric arrays of optical telescopes have
reached sizes of the order of 100m, but they have yet to produce
high-resolution images. The analysis of image formation now shows that such
images are obtainable directly in the recombined focal plane, if there are
enough telescopes. Resolved images of extra-solar planets are in principle
obtainable with 10km ground-based arrays.
