We study the dynamics and synchronization properties of two mutually delay-coupled semiconductor lasers. We concentrate on a configuration in which the lasers are coherently coupled via a partially transparent mirror. We investigate the influence of mismatches of the delay times and of the coupling strengths for self-feedback and coupling. We show that the former mismatch alters the lasers’ dynamics significantly but does not affect the synchronization quality. The latter mismatch has a considerable effect on the stability of the zero-lag synchronized state of the system, but does not change the dynamics within the synchronization manifold. Finally, we discuss the implications of our analytical and numerical results.
