Abstract
Synchronization due to a weak global coupling with time delay in a semicond uctor laser array is investigated both in the cw and self-pulsing regimes. A generalized form of the: Kuramoto phase equations is derived and discusse d analytically. The time delay is shown to induce in-phase synchronization in all dynamical regimes. Another form of synchronization is found which le ads to local extinction of self-pulsing in the array.
