Abstract
A new concept for the design of curved dielectric waveguides is proposed. The bends designed according to this criterion are called Matched Bends. We show that using this approach each bent section of integrated optics components can be designed and optimized avoiding the transition losses and, even more important, the distortion of the field outgoing from the bend.
