Supersymmetry-guided method for mode selection and optimization in coupled systems
arXiv:1806.01882 · doi:10.1364/OL.43.003758
Abstract
Single-mode operation of coupled systems such as optical-fiber bundles, lattices of photonic waveguides, or laser arrays requires an efficient method to suppress unwanted super-modes. Here, we propose a systematic supersymmetry-based approach to selectively eliminate modes of such systems by decreasing their lifetime relative to the lifetime of the mode of interest. The proposed method allows to explore the opto-geometric parameters of the coupled system and to maximize the relative lifetime of a selected mode. We report a ten-fold increase in the relative lifetime of the fundamental modes of large one-dimensional coupled arrays in comparison to simple 'head-to-tail' coupling geometries. The ability to select multiple supported modes in one- and two-dimensional arrays is also demonstrated.
