Abstract
An abrupt bend structure with a corner reflector on LiNbO3 is proposed. In the proposed structure, a region whose refractive index is higher than that of the substrate is placed at the corner of the bend. The interface betwee n the substrate and the high index region is used as a reflector for the gu ided wave. The calculated normalized transmission power is about 94% even w hen the bend angle is 10(0).
