Abstract
We have studied the optical waveguide properties of sol-gel coated TiO2-SiO 2 composite thin films. With increasing TiO2 content the loss of thin films was increased. The loss of thin films was increased and then decreased wit h increasing annealing temperature. FT-IR spectra, XRD, AFM, and SEM analys es showed that this loss resulted from the scattering of segregations and n on-uniform distribution in the films.
