The possibility of the existence of laminar chaos in coupled time-delayed feedback systems is investigated. The cases of unidirectional and mutual coupling of time-delay systems are considered. It is shown for the first time that laminar chaos can exist not only in a system with a variable delay time, but also in a system with a constant delay time, if it is coupled with a system in the regime of laminar chaos.
