title: Versatile and robust chaos synchronization phenomena imposed by delayed shared feedback coupling.
abstract: In a joint experimental and modeling approach we demonstrate chaos synchronization imposed by a delayed shared feedback coupling between two nonlinear electro-optic oscillators. Robust identical synchronization is obtained for both symmetric and strongly asymmetric timing of the mutual coupling, offering great potential for applications such as chaos-based communications. We further demonstrate antisynchronization as well as generalized synchronization with vanishing linear correlation, by detuning the nonlinearity in one of the oscillators.
