Abstract
Abstract Waveguides with circular bends are analyzed by means of a conformal transformation in conjunction with the WKB method of dealing with the nonuniform refractive index that results from the transformation. The result is a prediction of the operational parameters of the bent guide, including the loss. The transformation makes possible an intuitive understanding of the cause of the loss.
