S-Bends

For optimisation of Optical S-Bend waveguides

S-Bend Waveguides

The device on the left shows two waveguides joined by a linear section. The losses are considerable, the power transmission into the output fundamental mode being only 35%. KALLISTOS was configured to seek a design with the same length, but with improved transmission. The result was the "s-bend" on the right. Note how the optimizer automatically chose to include offsets at the waveguide interfaces!
