Abstract :
Bent-guide structures will undoubtedly play an important role in increasing packing density in future integrated optical circuits. A method for forming bends in waveguides in III-V semiconductors by reflection off an etched vertical wall is proposed for providing wave-guiding through 90° with negligible loss.
