Abstract :
The results of calculations prove the presence of transmission characteristics dependence of optical waveguide bends on wavelength. This fact can successfully be used for creation of optical filters by choice of glass structure, radius and number of bends. The search and synthesis of new glass structures is of interest for this purpose.
