Scientific paper

A summary is provided of the experiments which have used the Multiple Mirror Telescope (MMT) subapertures as a phased array in the optical, infrared, and submillimeter spectum regions. Those experiments exploit the unique, very high angular resolution of the MMT being equivalent to that of a conventional telescope 686 cm in diameter. The operation of the MMT as a phased array is not only important for obtaining high angular resolution but also for obtaining the higher detection sensitivity which results from the better discrimination against the sky emission background for infrared diffraction limited images. A description is presented of future plans to make the MMT into a phased telescope.
