AbstractFirst-order supersymmetry (SUSY) adapted from quantum physics to optics manipulates the transverse refractive index of guided-wave structures using a nodeless ground state to obtain intended modal content. Second-order SUSY can be implemented using excited states as a seed function, even with the presence of nodes. We apply second-order SUSY to the coupled-mode equations by recasting them as the Dirac equation. This enables the engineering of non-uniform surface corrugation of waveguide gratings and coupling potential, which encapsulates the Bragg interaction between counterpropagating modes. We show that the added bound states appear as transmission resonances inside the bandgap of the finite grating. The probability density of each state provides the longitudinal modal energy distribution in the waveguide grating. The smooth modal energy distribution of the states obtained by SUSY can mitigate longitudinal spatial hole burning in high power laser operation. We demonstrate that degenerate second-order SUSY allows the insertion of two states, which can coalesce into Friedrich-Wintgen type bound states in the continuum (BIC) for one-dimensional grating. We show that the eigenfunctions of BIC states are doubly degenerate with opposite parity, and the corresponding transmission resonances have phase changes of 2π across these states. One-dimensional BIC states can find application as robust high-speed all-optical temporal integrators by lifting restrictions on the length of various sections in the phase-shifted grating.

SummaryUsing sophisticated computer programs and elaborate physical models, accurate radiative and collisional atomic data of astrophysical interest have been or are being calculated. The cases treated include radiative transitions between bound states in the 2p4and 2s2p5configurations of many ions in the oxygen isoelectronic sequence, the photoionisation of the ground state of neutral iron, the electron impact excitation of the fine-structure forbidden transitions within the 3p3ground configuration of CℓIII, Ar IV and K V, and the mass-production of radiative data for ions in the oxygen and fluorine isoelectronic sequences, as part of the international Opacity Project.

We have presented a multi-layer implementation of the equation of motion coupled-cluster method for the electron affinity, based on local and pair natural orbitals. The method gives consistent accuracy for both localized and delocalized anionic states. It results in many fold speedup in computational timing as compared to the canonical and DLPNO based implementation of the EA-EOM-CCSD method. We have also developed an explicit fragment-based approach which can lead to even higher speed-up with little loss in accuracy. The multi-layer method can be used to treat the environmental effect of both bonded and non-bonded nature on the electron attachment process in large molecules.<br>
