Abstract
We reveal that guided waves in negative-refraction-index (left-handed) waveguides possess a number of peculiar properties such as the absence of the fundamental modes, mode double degeneracy, and sign-varying energy flux. We predict the existence of novel types of guided waves with a dipole-vortex structure of the Pointing vector.
