Abstract
A planar waveguide with a specific refractive index profile admits sup ersymmetry. Physically, optical supersymmetry describes two light beam s of different colors that form a standing periodic interference patte rn along the waveguide axis. The supersymmetry is exact in the paraxia l approximation and broken beyond.
