The guidance conditions of TE and TM waves with both real and imaginary transverse wave numbers in a grounded slab waveguide of uniaxially anisotropic left‐handed material are derived. The mode properties for guided TE waves, such as the existence of guided modes, the number of possible modes and the mode cutoffs are analyzed in different cases graphically. Furthermore, we come into some new conclusions different from the mode properties in an isotropic LHM slab. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
