We report on the experimental demonstration of adiabatic light transfer between the outer waveguides in a finite array of evanescently coupled optical waveguides with negligible excitation of all the intermediate waveguides. Such a counterintuitive light transfer scheme is an optical analogue of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage via an auxiliary dressed state proposed in atomic physics for multilevel systems.

Abstract
We report on the experimental demonstration of adiabatic light transfer between the outer waveguides in a finite array of evanescently coupled optical waveguides with negligible excitation of all the intermediate waveguides. Such a counterintuitive light transfer scheme is an optical analogue of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage via an auxiliary dressed state proposed in atomic physics for multilevel systems.File in questo prodotto:
