Abstract
Directed modes are theoretically studied in three-layer fibers with negative refractive index of the core or claddings. The polarization of the modes and the transformation of the dispersion curves of the slow modes are investigated as a function of the thickness of the cladding layer. It is found that the thickness of the cladding layer is capable of substantially increasing the region of phase matching and single-mode propagation of the slow modes.
