我们审查的制造方法和常见的结构，光流体波导，定义为能够通过流体填充的核心光限制和传输的结构。引用的结构包括基于全内反射、金属涂层和基于干涉的限制的结构。光波导包括在平坦衬底上制造的光纤和波导（集成波导）。在这篇综述中包括的一些光流体波导的例子是光子晶体光纤（PCF）和二维光子晶体阵列，布拉格光纤和波导，以及抗共振反射光波导（ARROW）。重点放在集成ARROW使用薄膜沉积工艺，这说明了如何optofluidic波导可以与其他微流体元件相结合，在创建实验室芯片设备。
We review fabrication methods and common structures for optofluidic waveguides, defined as structures capable of optical confinement and transmission through fluid filled cores. Cited structures include those based on total internal reflection, metallic coatings, and interference based confinement. Configurations include optical fibers and waveguides fabricated on flat substrates (integrated waveguides). Some examples of optofluidic waveguides that are included in this review are Photonic Crystal Fibers (PCFs) and two-dimensional photonic crystal arrays, Bragg fibers and waveguides, and Anti Resonant Reflecting Optical Waveguides (ARROWs). An emphasis is placed on integrated ARROWs fabricated using a thin-film deposition process, which illustrates how optofluidic waveguides can be combined with other microfluidic elements in the creation of lab-on-a-chip devices.
