The dynamics under the variance of derivative order q and parameters of the system have examined using the multiscale complexity algorithm and the bifurcation diagram. Numerical simulation outcomes demonstrate that the system generates chaos with the decreasing of q. Moreover, this paper designs the coupled fractional-order network of laser systems and subsequently obtains its numerical solution using ABM. These solutions have demonstrated chimera states of the proposed fractional-order laser network.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym13020341","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,20]],"date-time":"2021-02-20T03:00:37Z","timestamp":1613790037000},"page":"341","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Complexity and Chimera States in a Network of Fractional-Order Laser Systems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5190-4841","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shaobo","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics Science and Technology, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hayder","family":"Natiq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Technology Collage, Imam Ja\u2019afar Al-Sadiq University, Baghdad 10001, Iraq"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Santo","family":"Banerjee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematical Sciences, Giuseppe Luigi Lagrange, Politecnico di Torino, Corso Duca degli Abruzzi 24, I-10129 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kehui","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics Science and Technology, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"253","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-0728(71)80115-8","article-title":"An analog simulation of non-integer order transfer functions for analysis of electrode processes","volume":"33","author":"Ichise","year":"1971","journal-title":"J.
