Observation of supersymmetric scattering in photonic lattices
Supersymmetric (SUSY) optical structures display a number of intriguing
properties that can lead to a variety of potential applications, ranging from
perfect global phase matching to highly efficient mode conversion and novel
multiplexing schemes. Here, we experimentally investigate the scattering
characteristics of supersymmetric photonic lattices. We directly observe the
light dynamics in such systems and compare the reflection/transmission
properties of SUSY partner structures. In doing so, we demonstrate that
discrete settings constitute a promising testbed for studying the different
facets of optical supersymmetry.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
