The dispersion and transmission characteristics of transverse electric modes of a flexible photonic crystal waveguide are investigated by numerical simulation. Calculated results indicate that for arbitrary-angle bends of this waveguide with very small curved radii no more than two wavelengths, a very high transmission (>98.5%) is observed for a broad enough bandwidth. Owing to its unique advantage of compactness and flexibility, this waveguide is expected to be applied to highly dense photonic integrated circuits after further research.
