Based on the electromagnetic theory and by adopting the method of direct calculation, this paper proves that the modes of left-handed materials slab waveguide are orthogonal among each other, i.e. the fast waves, the slow waves, and the radiation modes are orthogonal among each other. This work provides a basis to study modes conversion in left-handed materials slab waveguide.
