摘要：

We present and discuss the possibility to coherently couple several (up to seven) large telescopes located on the Mauna Kea summit, in order to obtain interferometric capabilities at visible and infrared wavelengths. The advent of adaptive optics and single mode optical fibers allows the use of telescopes which were not built for interferometric use. The diameter of the telescopes, the orientations and lengths of potential baselines can lead to impressive performances in terms of sensitivity and angular resolution, with a negligible site impact.
