Abstract: Topology optimization has been used to design a 60° bend in a<br />

single-mode planar photonic crystal waveguide. The design has been<br />

realized in a silicon-on-insulator material and we demonstrate a recordbreaking<br />

200nm transmission bandwidth with an average bend loss of<br />

0.43±0.27 dB for the TE polarization. The experimental results agree well<br />

with 3D finite-difference-time-domain simulations.<br />
