(color online) Geometrical visualizations of STIRAP in three-waveguide directional couplers: (a) full efficiency STIRAP, (b) fractional efficiency STIRAP, (c) zero efficiency STIRAP, and (d) non-adiabatic passage. In all of these schemes, the light is coupled into the left waveguide, and the selected adiabatic tunneling rate parameters are the same as those in Ref. [13]. While in non-adiabatic scheme, the parameters are zR = 30.5 mm, zL = 22 mm, ζR = ζL = 9 mm, Ω = 1 mm−1, .
