β¦ Synopsis
Bending losses of curved plasma-enhanced chemical Vapour (PECVD) Silicon Carbide (SiC) waveguides are studied experimentally. We show that properly designed curved sections generate less 0.5 dB/rad for both TE and TM polarisations. We also investigate the wavelength dependency and show that the bending losses decrease with wavelength in the visible range.

## Abstract In this article, the ordinary optical waveguides are investigated by the near field optical microscopy (NSOM). Three kinds of experimental systems are set up and the corresponding operation modes of NSOM (illumination mode, illuminationβcollection mode and collection mode) are realized
