  We show that supersymmetry can provide a versatile platform in synthesizing a
new class of optical structures with desired properties and functionalities. By
exploiting the intimate relationship between superpatners, one can
systematically construct index potentials capable of exhibiting the same
scattering and guided wave characteristics. In particular, in the Helmholtz
regime, we demonstrate that one-dimensional supersymmetric pairs display
identical reflectivities and transmittivities for any angle of incidence.
Optical SUSY is then extended to two-dimensional systems where a link between
specific azimuthal mode subsets is established. Finally we explore
supersymmetric photonic lattices where discreteness can be utilized to design
lossless integrated mode filtering arrangements.
