Abstract
We have measured the near-infrared transmission spectra of 60 degrees bends defined in two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguides consisting of three missing rows. Two limit cases are studied: a basic nonresonant bend and a bend built around a resonant lozenge cavity, which is found to exhibit peak ed transmission. Finite-difference-time-domain simulations show very good a greement with the data allowing general design issues for efficient bends t o be discussed. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
