Abstract

This paper describes the history of the development of schemes for observing the radiation from external planets. It explores the roles of imaging, division of wavefront interferometry and nulling interferometry for this task. A linear nulling interferometer is proposed for imaging planetary systems and obtaining spectra of the planets.
