Abstract
The goal of scaling fiber lasers to high power levels for applications has created an interest in coherently combine the beams of a number of fibers. However, success in accurately controlling the frequencies and phases of the fields by either passive, active or hybrid means has until now been limited. Studies of the dynamics of passively phased fiber arrays have been published, but the understanding of their instabilities is limited.
