The waveguide comprising a core region, a cladding region extending around the core region; and a first layer of a material having a thickness of less than a skin depth of the material for electromagnetic radiation of a first wavelength; wherein the first layer is configured with a periodic refractive index and positioned within the waveguide such that a first surface polariton wave is excited at an interface between the core region and cladding region when electromagnetic radiation of the first wavelength is transmitted through the core region. There is also provided a method of manufacture of the waveguide.
