|a The use of indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films as electrodes for integrated optical electrochemical sensor devices is discussed. The effect of various thicknesses of ITO overlayers exhibiting low resistivity and high transparency on potassium ion-exchanged waveguides fabricated in glass substrates is investigated over the wavelength range 500-900 nm. ITO overlayers are formed by reactive thermal evaporation in oxygen, followed by annealing in air to a maximum temperature of 320°C. With air as superstrate, losses in the waveguides were found to increase dramatically above 30nm ITO thickness for TE polarization, and above 50nm thickness for TM. Losses were increased over the whole wavelength range for a superstrate index close to that of water. A one-dimensional multilayer waveguide model is used in the interpretation of the experimental results.
