Abstract :
A new type of optical waveguide is proposed. It consists of a thin film of transparent dielectric supporting the surface E0 wave mode. With properly chosen dimensions, attenuation of a few decibels per kilometre is theoretically achievable. A design is suggested which gives the guide the required flexibility for negotiating bends.
