Abstract:
An abrupt bend structure with a corner reflector on LiNbO3 is proposed. In the proposed structure, a region whose refractive index is higher than that of the substrate is placed at the corner of the bend. The interface between the substrate and the high index region is used as a reflector for the guided wave. The calculated normalized transmission power is about 94% even when the bend angle is 10.
