In a curved neutron guide, the transmission becomes λ dependent: (a) the possible types of reflection (garland and zig-zag), the direct line-of-sight length, the critical angle θ*, which is related to the characteristic wavelength [\lambda^*=\theta^*{\sqrt{\pi/Nb_{\rm coh}}}]; (b) transmission across the exit of the guide for different wavelengths, normalized to unity at the outside edge; (c) total transmission of the guide as a function of λ.
