Abstract

An analysis of the dispersion relation of SiO_x submicron optical waveguides in the visible and IR spectral range is presented. Here is considered that the refractive index (n) of SiO_x can be tuned in the range from n=1.457-2 for 2>x>1, and a film thickness from 50nm to 1000nm. Starting from the dispersion relation and the distribution of the electric field in the waveguide; cutoff wavelength, cutoff thickness, effective refractive index, effective guide thickness and confinement factor of a selected mode are calculated.
