  A medium with specific anisotropic refractive indices can induce a
supersymmetric behavior in the propagation of polarized electromagnetic waves,
in an analogue fashion to a quantum mechanical system. The polarizations of the
wave are the ones which behave as superpartners from each other. For this to
happen, the anisotropy of the medium must be transverse to the direction of
propagation of the wave, with different refractive indices along the direction
of each polarization. These refractive indices must follow a very specific
relation in order to trigger the supersymetric response of the electromagnetic
wave, each of them with spatial dependence on the longitudinal (propagation)
direction of the wave. In this form, in these materials, different polarized
light can be used to test supersymmetry in an optical fashion.
