Abstract
We investigate characteristics of waveguide using highly-reflective semiconductor in the restrahlen band. We identify spectral operating regions within the restrahlen band of a cladding layer that offers advantages over both traditional dielectric waveguide and metal clad waveguides using surface plasmon polaritons.
