玻璃材料在平面和基于光纤的光子结构中的应用的最新进展导致了新的器件和组件，这些器件和组件超出了20世纪60年代玻璃使用的原始想法，当时玻璃纤维被开发用于低损耗光通信应用。利用材料的组成灵活性，结合定制其尺寸、形状、物理特性以及暴露于各种形式的电磁辐射时的行为的能力，已经导致了许多突破。因此，为了本综述的目的，我们将讨论划分为突出材料组成和形式以及它们如何影响设备功能的问题，重点关注过去几十年来取得的进展。
Recent advances in the application of glassy materials in planar and fiber-based photonic structures have led to novel devices and components that go beyond the original thinking of the use of glass in the 1960s, when glass fibers were developed for low-loss, optical communication applications. Exploitation of the material's compositional flexibility, combined with the ability to tailor all aspects of its size, shape, and physical properties as well as its behavior when exposed to all forms of electromagnetic radiation, has led to numerous breakthroughs. Thus, for the purposes of this review, we have divided the discussion to highlight issues of material composition and form and how both impact device function, focusing on the advances made within the past decades.
