## Abstract Different taperedβwaveguide junctions are investigated for coupling light between traditional dielectric and photonicβcrystal waveguides characterized by a triangular lattice of air holes. Efficient approaches for the taper design, which allow flatβtransmission efficiency higher than 85
A two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide with a novel geometry is introduced. The center line of this waveguide is bent along a free-curve such that the direction of the propagating light can be changed without scattering or reflection losses. The design method is described for a triangular latt
## Abstract Metallic waveguides can be constructed with sidewalls consisting of metallic rods instead of sheets. The attenuation constants and bandwidths of such waveguides are calculated for a fixed cutoff frequency while the radii of the metallic rods are varied. The propagation losses are found
