Abstract

Chapter 1 is a review of developments in optical aperture synthesis and is not original work.

Chapter 2 considers the techniques estimating of fringe visibilities from photon-noise- limited data and is mostly a review of previous work, although some of the analysis is my own.

Chapters 3–6 are original except where otherwise stated.

The delay line described in chapter 7 is based on the design developed by Connes [16], but the specific implementation is my own.

Chapter 8 describes experiments which are a continuation of the work of Baldwin et al. [6] and Haniff et al. [37], but the specific work descibed here is my own.

Chapter 9 is original except where otherwise stated.
