Abstract

Finite element-based modal and beam propagation and the least squares boundary residual methods are used to optimize compact low-loss optical bends. Important optical parameters such as the radiation, transition, and transmission efficiencies, and the reflection coefficients of compact optical waveguide bends are presented.
