Abstract :
Light propagation is investigated in two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguides with bends, which were composed of closely-packed holes formed in a GaInAsP thin film. Wavelength and polarisation dependence on propagation characteristics were observed in the wavelength range 1.47-1.60 μm
