Abstract
Supersymmetry (SUSY) enables tuning of certain eigenvalues of quantum well without changing other states. We leverage second-order SUSY to tune the intermediate state of asymmetric coupled quantum well states. A family of such quantum wells can be used for upconversion of two bands of frequencies into a single frequency. We investigate the total nonlinear conversion of light in a metallic coupled quantum well system. We obtain non-uniform refractive index distributions required to tune the frequency of the intermediate state while leaving the ground and excited state unchanged. We repeat SUSY transformations to tune the eigenvalues required for third-order susceptibility.
