Continuous supersymmetric transformations in optical waveguides
arXiv:1806.00418 · doi:10.1364/OE.26.033797
Abstract
We introduce continuous supersymmetric transformations to manipulate the modal content in systems of optical waveguides, providing a systematic method to design efficient and robust integrated devices such as tapered waveguides, single-waveguide mode filters, beam splitters and interferometers. These transformations connect superpartner profiles by smoothly modifying the transverse index profile along the propagation direction and, if the modification is performed adiabatically, the transverse electric modes evolve adapting their shape and propagation constant without being coupled to other guided or radiated modes. Numerical simulations show that very high fidelities are obtained for a broad range of devices lengths and light's wavelengths.
