Abstract
The method of conformal transformations is applied to the analysis of waveguide bends. Equivalent structures are obtained that permit solution by traditional methods of optical waveguide analysis. Losses associated with both curvature and with the transition from straight to curved guides are discussed and simple first-order expressions that describe the dependence of the losses on waveguide parameters are derived.Keywords
