Controlling the path of discretized light in waveguide lattices

Abstract

A general method for flexible control of the path of discretized light beams in homogeneous waveguide lattices, based on longitudinal modulation of the coupling constant, is theoretically proposed. As compared to beam steering and refraction achievable in graded-index waveguide arrays, the proposed approach enables to synthesize rather arbitrary target paths.
