Abstract
This paper reviews work carried out by the authors in developing nanop orous sol-gel films as hosts for semiconductor crystallites, for appli cations in nonlinear integrated optics, including aspects of fabricati on, characterisation and modelling. Particular attention is given to t hree novel techniques - optospinography, molecular probe ellipsometry and pore capping, as well as prospects that have been raised from thei r outcome.
