Abstract:We report anomalous dispersion properties of hybrid guided modes (HGMs) and their group velocity in a subwavelength uniaxial metamaterial waveguide with metal cladding. We derive exact dispersion relations and modal fields of HGMs by solving eigenvalue equation based on basic electromagnetic field theory in detail. Numerical results show that two fundamental HGMs and two types of high-order HGMs can be excited, and their exciting conditions are clarified. In addition, such HGMs can be engineered to belong to n… Show more
