Abstract
We demonstrated high efficiency coherent coupling between ring-cavity YAG lasers developed for the gravitational wave measurements. A single mode fiber laser is demonstrated for coherent coupling. The coupling efficiency is measured and is found to be limited by the internal loss due to the couplers and the narrow bandwidth of FBGs.
