Abstract
We show that the coupled-oscillator model accurately describes the dyn amics of laser arrays. Excellent qualitative and quantitative agreemen t is obtained between this model and the results of experiments on Nd: YAG laser arrays. Recent claims of instantaneous phase locking are sho wn to be in error.
