Abstract
We theoretically investigate waveguide bends in three-dimensional dielectri c photonic bandgap (PBG) materials. The PBG materials used in this study co nsist of layers of alumina rods. An L-shaped waveguide is created by removi ng part of the rod in one layer and part of the rod in the next layer. The removed rods are perpendicular to each other. Using finite-difference time- domain (FDTD) simulations.
