title: Passive phase locking of 25 fiber lasers.
abstract: Our experiments on passively phase locking two-dimensional arrays of coupled fiber lasers reveal that the average phase locking level of 25 lasers is low (20%-30%) but can exceed 90% in rare brief events. The average phase locking level was found to decrease for a larger number of lasers in the array and to increase with the connectivity of the array.
