Coupled semiconductor lasers are ideal testbeds to study synchronization properties of delay-coupled systems. At the same time they are promising for applications. An aspect which is therefore important is how synchronization can get lost. Here we present experimental results for the dynamics of two mutually coupled semiconductor lasers in a relay-coupling-configuration. We achieve excellent zero-lag chaos synchronization of the lasers' output intensities. Moreover, we demonstrate how the overall synchronization quality decreases with increasing pump current. We identify this to be due to an increase of the occurence of intermittent desynchronization events which we attribute to noise-induced bubbling. We point out the difference to global transverse instabilities of the synchronization and the resulting on-off intermittency. This is completed by a detailed analysis of the desynchronization events.
