title: Isochronal synchronization of delay-coupled systems.
abstract: We consider small network models for mutually delay-coupled systems which typically do not exhibit stable isochronally synchronized solutions. We show analytically and numerically that for certain coupling architectures which involve delayed self-feedback to the nodes, the oscillators become isochronally synchronized. Applications are shown for both incoherent pump-coupled lasers and spatiotemporal coupled fiber ring lasers.
