We have studied the correlations between luminosities ( L R , L O , L X , L γ ) in radio, optical, X-ray and γ-ray wave bands for Fermi blazars, and found that there are significant correlations between L R and L γ , L X and L γ and L O and L γ for blazars, BL Lacs and FSRQs, but no correlation between L γ and L O for BL Lacs. These results suggest that for Fermi blazars, the high energy γ-ray emission can be related with radio, X-ray and optical emissions.
