We apply geometrical modification in the bend region to improve the transmission characteristics. This modification results in increasing the relative bandwidth from 6.5% to 25.7% of photonic band gap width. Using the effective refractive index, the structures designed are simulated by the 2D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. As a specific application, we use the improved bend structure in a PC waveguide directional coupler and show that the drop output increases significantly.}, title={A 60° photonic crystal waveguide bend with improved transmission characteristics}, type={artykuł}, keywords={optyka, photonic crystal, waveguide, bend, bandwidth, slab structures}, }
