Abstract
A general method is presented of evaluating bending losses in hollow-core waveguides; analytic expressions
are obtained for metallic hollow, dielectric hollow, and tube leaky waveguides on the basis of the 2-D slab
waveguide model. Numerical examples are given for waveguides made of different kinds of metals, oxide, and
dielectric materials at 10.6 μm. It is shown that the dielectric tube leaky waveguide can be
bent with a small bending radius compared with a metallic hollow waveguide when the guide material is
appropriately selected.
