We have theoretically investigated waveguide modes propagating in a planar waveguide formed by a layer of an isotropic dielectric surrounded by hyperbolic media. The case, when the optical axis of hyperbolic media is perpendicular to the interface, is considered. Dispersion relations are derived for the cases of TE and TM waves. The differences in the characteristics of a hyperbolic and a conventional dielectric waveguide are found. In particular, it is shown that in hyperbolic waveguides for each TM mode there are two cut-off frequencies and the number of propagating modes is always limited. (metamaterials)
