Learn about the basics of waveguide bends in photonic circuits. This video explains how mode shapes change and why that matters. Find out what happens when modes don't match up and how this affects the waveguide's work. The tutorial also touches on the difference between straight and bent waveguides, explaining why this change is important. Towards the end, get hands-on experience with Lumerical FEEM, building on a waveguide design from before.
