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 14):
A method comprising:\n forming a waveguide and a first waveguide bend that is contiguous with the waveguide, wherein the waveguide and the first waveguide bend are positioned on a dielectric cladding layer that is located over a substrate, and the first waveguide bend has a surface arranged in a first arc defining an inner radius; and forming a second waveguide bend positioned on the dielectric cladding layer, the second waveguide bend having a surface arranged in a second arc that is spaced from the surface at the inner radius of the first waveguide bend by a gap, wherein the second waveguide bend curves in the second arc from a first end of the second waveguide bend to a second end of the second waveguide bend, the second arc 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 of the first waveguide bend.
