Abstract
Using deeply etched photonic wires on gallium arsenide, ultra-small bent waveguides with radii of curvature below 1 mu m were fabricated. The maximum transmittance of a 90 degrees bend with radius of 2 mu m can be enhanced to almost 99% at a wavelength of 1.55 mu m, which corresponds to an attenuation factor of 0.05 dB per bend.
