The paper deals with the properties of lateral waves in uniaxial optical waveguides. The lateral waves are closely associated with the phenomenon of the total reflection and arise due to the presence of branch point singularities of the reflection coefficients. In the structure of uniaxial asymmetric waveguides two sets of the lateral waves may propagate along two interfaces of the waveguide. A detailed wave-optical analysis for the propagation is presented.
