Abstract
A globally coupled class-B laser array with incoherent feedback is proposed for exploring the complex dynamics of dynamical systems with the highest connectivity. This feedback shows a fundamental characteristic, information lag, and results in the general features of synchronization, attractor fission, and attractor fusion processes. The common characteristics shared by different clusters in the segregation process are found. The effect of multiple different time delays on synchronization is also investigated.
