Line waves are
electromagnetic waves that propagate between planar
impedance discontinuities. Being localized in the vicinity of the discontinuity, they are regarded as the one-dimensional counterpart of
surface waves.
Impedance discontinuities that are necessary for line wave propagation are facilitated by two-dimensional structures such as
metasurfaces and/or
graphene, whose structural or electrical properties may be tuned to achieve the desired impedance.
