N2 - Being inspired by the recent studies of photonic crystal waveguides and circuits, we analyze nonlinear stationary modes localized in waveguide bends, in the framework of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation for a planar geometry. We introduce a simple model of a waveguide bend and examine the interplay between discreteness, nonlinearity and geometry for the existence and stability of nonlinear bend modes.
