Anisotropic waveguides

Anisotropic waveguides are structures designed to guide waves, such as light or sound, where the properties of the material vary in different directions. This means that the way the waves travel can change depending on their direction of movement. In contrast to isotropic materials, which behave the same in all directions, anisotropic waveguides can direct waves more effectively, allowing for improved performance in applications like telecommunications and optical devices. Their unique properties can enhance signal quality and efficiency, making them an important component in advanced technologies.
