Cet article fait le point sur les recherches récentes sur différents types de guides d'ondes optiques cristallins plans et canaux, ainsi que sur leurs méthodes de fabrication, comme l'épitaxie en phase liquide, la déposition par laser pulsé, le thermocollage, l'attaque par ions réactifs ou faisceau ionique, l'attaque chimique humide, la diffusion ionique, l'échange de protons, l'implantation par faisceau ionique, et la gravure par laser femtoseconde, ou encore le dopage laser de guides d'ondes par des ions de terres rares et de métaux de transition dans des oxydes cristallins tels que Al2O3, Y3Al5O12, YAlO3, KY(WO4)2 et LiNbO3.

This article reviews the recent research on different types of planar and channel crystalline optical waveguides, fabrication methods such as liquid phase epitaxy, pulsed laser deposition, thermal bonding, reactive ion or ion beam etching, wet chemical etching, ion in-diffusion, proton exchange, ion beam implantation, and femtosecond laser writing, as well as waveguide laser operation of rare-earth and transition-metal ions in oxide crystalline materials such as Al2O3, Y3Al5O12, YAlO3, KY(WO4)2, and LiNbO3.
