    "abstract": "We theoretically investigate the existence and properties of hybrid surface\nwaves forming at interfaces between left-handed materials and dielectric\nbirefringent media. The existence conditions of such waves are found to be\nhighly relaxed in comparison to the original hybrid surface waves, discovered\nby Dyakonov, in configurations involving birefringent materials and\nright-handed media. Hybrid surface waves in left-handed materials feature\nremarkable properties: (i) a high degree of localization and (ii) coexistence\nof several guided solutions. The existence of several hybrid surface waves for\nthe same parameter set is linked to the birefringent nature of the medium\nwhereas the strong localization is related to the presence of the left-handed\nmaterial. The hybrid surface modes appear for large areas in the parameter\nspace.",
