摘要
We discuss the conditions in which guided modes exist in a circular waveguide with an anisotropic, uniaxial metamaterial cladding. These hollow-core waveguides can guide modes at deep subwavelength dimensions, with core diameters more than 20 times smaller than the operating wavelength. (c) 2012 Optical Society of America
