Abstract
Integrated optical circuits use planar optical waveguides to perform routing, and other functional operations on the optical signals. In the routing function, these guides have to convey signals from one location on the circuit to another, and these involve the use of bends and corners. It is known that sharp discontinuities in optical waveguides result in losses in the form of radiation, and the design of these bends and corners to minimize is of considerable importance.
