Progress in Long Baseline Optical Interferometry in the World

In this paper, the progress and the status of development of long bascline intcrfcromctry in the world is reviewed, and the characteristics of the optical interferometers, which are operating or planed, both on ground and in space, arc introduced. Rapid development of optical interferometry indicates that it is growing into an important branch in optical astronomy, and that telescope development has shown a tendency towards the combination of large collecting aperture with high resolution. In the near future, optical interferometry will be an important tool in astronomy.
