摘要
Numerical studies on waveguides and waveguide bends in two-dimensional photonic crystal triangular lattice slabs are presented. The waveguides are created by filling a row of air holes in the Gamma-J direction. Instead of using the leaky waveguide modes, we focus our designs in the frequency range where the waveguide mode is nonleaky. It is shown that a high transmission of more than 90% through the sharp bend can be obtained in some frequency ranges.
