Virtual space-time delay dynamics and their chimera states

We will report on recently obtained chimera states in a delayed feedback wavelength laser dynamics. The concept of virtual space-time dynamics will be explained, as well as the formalism of integro-differential delay dynamics. Various coexisting multiple head chimera states are reported, both from numerics and experiments, the latter being explained from the physics viewpoint. The parameter space domains for which the different multistable chimera states are existing, is also investigated.
