Abstract:
Waveguide bends and methods of fabricating waveguide bends. A first waveguide bend is contiguous with a waveguide. A second waveguide bend is spaced from a surface at an inner radius of the first waveguide bend by a gap. The second waveguide bend may have a substantially concentric arrangement with the first waveguide bend.

Claim (Index 1):
A structure comprising:\n a substrate; a dielectric cladding layer over the substrate; a waveguide on the dielectric cladding layer; a first waveguide bend on the dielectric cladding layer, the first waveguide bend contiguous with the waveguide, and the first waveguide bend having a surface arranged in a first arc defining an inner radius; and a second waveguide bend on the dielectric cladding layer, the second waveguide bend having a surface arranged in a second arc spaced from the surface at the inner radius of the first waveguide bend by a first gap, and the second waveguide bend having a first end and a second end, wherein the second waveguide bend curves in the second arc from the first end of the second waveguide bend to the second end of the second waveguide bend, the surface of the second waveguide bend is arranged in its entirety inside of the surface arranged in the first arc at the inner radius of the first waveguide bend, and the surface of the second waveguide bend is concentric with the surface at the inner radius of the first waveguide bend.
