Why can OC GuideLink waveguides achieve a 3 mm out of plane bend radius?
• Because there is no residual strain in the OC GuideLink™ waveguide material, the materials can be bent to a 3 mm bend radius before inducing enough strain to cause optical losses. This result is seen for both multi-mode and single mode guides at the usual wavelengths of interest: 640, 800, 980, 1310, 1480, and 1550 nm.
