The theoretical framework of supersymmetry (SUSY) aims to relate bosons and fermions -- two profoundly different species of particles -- and their interactions. While this space-time symmetry is seen to provide an elegant solution to many unanswered questions in high-energy physics, its experimental verification has so far remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate that, notions from supersymmetry can be strategically utilized in optics in order to address one of the longstanding challenges in laser science. In this regard, a supersymmetric laser array is realized, capable of emitting exclusively in its fundamental transverse mode. Our results not only pave the way towards devising new schemes for scaling up radiance in integrated lasers, but also on a more fundamental level, they could shed light on the intriguing synergy between non-Hermiticity and supersymmetry.

We present a novel proposal to generate an optical vortex beam by using the coherent-superposition of multi-beams in a radial symmetrical configuration. In terms of the generalized Huygens-Fresnel diffraction integral, we have derived the general pro pagation expression for the coherent radial laser arrays. Based on the derived formulae, we have analyzed the effects of the beamlet number, the separation distance of the beamlets and the topological charge on the intensity and phase distributions of the resulted beams. Our simulation results show that optical vortices could be efficiently formed and generated due to the interference and superposition effect of all the beamlets, during the propagation process of the coherent radial laser arrays with the initial well-organized phase distributions through the free space. In the focusing system, the resulted beam near the focusing plane has the strong rotation effect with the phase helicity.
An arrangement based on a degenerate cavity laser for forming an array of non-linearly coupled lasers with an intra-cavity saturable absorber is presented. More than $30$ lasers were spatially phase locked and temporally Q-switched. The arrangement w ith nonlinear coupling was found to be $25$ times more sensitive to loss differences and converged $5$ times faster to the lowest loss phase locked state than with linear coupling, thus providing a unique solution to problems that have several near-degenerate solutions.
We report the first observation of lasing in topological edge states in a 1D Su-Schrieffer-Heeger active array of resonators. We show that in the presence of chiral-time ($mathcal{CT}$) symmetry, this non-Hermitian topological structure can experienc e complex phase transitions that alter the emission spectra as well as the ensued mode competition between edge and bulk states. The onset of these phase transitions is found to occur at the boundaries associated with the complex geometric phase- a generalized version of the Berry phase in Hermitian settings. Our experiments and theoretical analysis demonstrate that the topology of the system plays a key role in determining its operation when it lases: topologically controlled lasing.
In comparison with conventional lasers, topological lasers are more robust and can be immune to disorder or de-fects if lasing occurs in topologically protected states. Previously reported topological lasers were almost exclu-sively based on the firs t-order photonic topological insulators. Here, we show that lasing can be achieved in the zero-dimensional corner state in a second-order photonic topological insulator, which is based on Kagome wave-guide array with a rhombic configuration. If gain is present in the corner of the structure, where topological corner state resides, stable lasing in this state is achieved, with lowest possible threshold, in the presence of uniform loss-es and two-photon absorption. When gain acts in other corners of the structure, lasing may occur in edge or bulk states, but it requires substantially larger thresholds and transition to stable lasing occurs over much larger propa-gation distances, sometimes due to instabilities, which are absent for lasing in corner states. We find that increasing two-photon absorption generally plays strong stabilizing action for nonlinear lasing states. The transition to stable lasing stimulated by noisy inputs is illustrated. Our work demonstrates the realistic setting for corner state laser based on higher-order topological insulator realised with waveguide arrays.
