We present what we believe to be a new architecture for coherent beam combination of a fiber amplifier array. Four polarization-maintained fiber amplifiers are passively coherent polarization beam combined by using an optical feedback in a ring cavity. Experimental results verify that the architecture is robust and effective. The combining efficiency of the whole system can be as high as 91%, and...
