VLTI the Very Large Telescope Interferometer operated by ESO

- AMBER the near-infrared/red focal instrument of the VLT interferometer,
operates in the bands J, H, and, K (ie 1.0 to 2.4 μm).

- MIDI the mid-infrared (N-band = 8 to 13 μm) instrument of the VLT interferometer.

CHARA Array the optical astronomical interferometer operated by The Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) of the Georgia State University (GSU).
