Experimental Characterization of the Reflectance of 60 Waveguide Bends in Photonic Crystal Waveguides

Abstract

Photonic crystal waveguides with two 60 bends were fabricated in an InGaAsP/InP suspended membrane geometry. The transmission spectrum was measured and the reflectance of the 60 bend was evaluated from Fabry Perot oscillations using Fourier analysis. It is shown that the reflectance agrees well with the results of a finite element method simulation.
