本文综述了光子学中的复杂现象，特别是半导体激光器的延迟耦合动力学特性。虽然这些现象在很长一段时间里被认为是一种讨厌的东西，但现在却打开了有趣的视角。半导体激光器系统是研究非线性延迟耦合系统的理想试验平台，这些系统在各个领域都具有重要意义。同时，延迟耦合激光器为光子应用提供了机会。在这篇评论中，引入到单个和两个延迟耦合激光器的属性是由网络图案和小网络的扩展。特别强调的是新兴的复杂行为，确定性混沌，同步现象，以及这些属性的应用范围从加密通信和快速随机位序列发生器bioinspired信息处理。DOI：10.1103/RevModPhys.85.421
Complex phenomena in photonics, in particular, dynamical properties of semiconductor lasers due to delayed coupling, are reviewed. Although considered a nuisance for a long time, these phenomena now open interesting perspectives. Semiconductor laser systems represent excellent test beds for the study of nonlinear delay-coupled systems, which are of fundamental relevance in various areas. At the same time delay-coupled lasers provide opportunities for photonic applications. In this review an introduction into the properties of single and two delay-coupled lasers is followed by an extension to network motifs and small networks. A particular emphasis is put on emerging complex behavior, deterministic chaos, synchronization phenomena, and application of these properties that range from encrypted communication and fast random bit sequence generators to bioinspired information processing.
