This talk will cover a summary of the main experimental capabilities recently added to the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems (IFISC). During the last months, a number of experiments involving both electronic circuits and semiconductor lasers have been set-up. These experiments have focused on the dynamics of delayed coupled systems, lasers with optical or opto-electronic feedback, and the particularities of delay-coupled lasers. An overview of the results in each of the previously mentioned topics will be discussed in this talk. Special thanks are due to all guests and IFISC members that have been involved in these activities. A tour around the labs will be offered after the presentation.
