Abstract
In various representative aspects, the present invention provides systems and methods for waveguides. A waveguide may comprise a housing and a plurality of reflective surfaces configured to couple to the housing. The housing may be configured to couple to an electromagnetic wave beam generator. The electromagnetic wave beam generator may, be configured to provide a wave beam having a polarization substantially similar to its initial polarization. At least one of the plurality of reflective surfaces may be configured to convert the mode of an incident wave beam. The plurality of reflective surfaces may be configured for alignment in a waveguide.
