摘要
We present an extended study of different topologies for lattice-deformed two-dimensional single line-defect (W1) photonic crystal channel waveguide bends and their effect on the optimization of the bend transmission properties. An enhancement of the spectral response by a factor of six was obtained, with the optimal design providing transmission greater than 95% over a 5.2% relative bandwidth. Experimental results for devices realized in III-V semiconductor epitaxial structure show a transmission efficiency of 95%. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
