摘要：

In this paper we present results of an experiment in which the link between two 1.2 m telescopes was obtained using single-mode optical fibres with polarization-preserving cores. An additional novelty of this experiment is the use of a tipping-tilting stabilization system on each telescope. We present results for the measured coupling efficiency with and without tip/tilt stabilization. Furthermore, we present white-light fringe-visibility measurements obtained on light from the star Alpha Bootis.
