Optimal photonic crystal bends with linear dispersion

We present a method for systematic design of Photonic Crystal Waveguide (PCW) bends to achieve high transmission and low dispersion over large bandwidths by identifying factors and studying their effects on transmission and dispersive properties of bends.
