Delay-coupled systems form a very active and competitive field in the context of general oscillators, excitable systems, lasers, neurons and many more. Also, as complex networks of delay-coupled oscillators become ever more commonplace, there is an essential need to deeply understand the dynamical properties of simple network motifs such as rings and chains. In this seminar, we investigate the emergence of the chaotic dynamics in a ring of delay-coupled nonlinear oscillators. By doing so, we answer a long-standing question in the field of delay-coupled oscillators: How does the chaotic dynamics from an oscillator subject to delayed feedback compare to general and more complex delayed coupling systems such as a ring of many elements?. We find that knowing some properties of the delayed feedback system we can predict the correlation and spectral characteristics properties of the dynamical behavior of delay-coupled systems precisely. We show that these results are not restricted to lasers, but are a fundamental property of a wide class of delay systems. From an application point of view, the broadband spectrum of the dynamics generated by the system under study, the expectation that the time delay can probably not be identified from the dynamics and the fact that two elements can be synchronized via an uncorrelated mediator, can have major implications in the field of encrypted communications.
