Abstract
Waveguides and comer mirrors are fabricated in InGaAsP/lnP. Properly a ligned mirrors have a loss of 0.8 dB per reflection. This result is ob tained by improved waveguide and mirror quality (surface roughness). M easured additional losses that are due to misalignment agree well with calculated values when a simple transformation method is used.
