Photonic crystal-based bending waveguides for optical interconnections

Opt Express. 2006 Jun 12;14(12):5723-32. doi: 10.1364/oe.14.005723.

Abstract

Various bending waveguides with different bending angles in photonic crystal are proposed and studied. Analyses show that the bending waveguides can provide a high transmission for the whole frequencies within the photonic band gap. Numerical simulations confirm that high transmissions over 98.5% can be achieved for the proposed waveguides.
