Direct Laser Writing of Three‐ Dimensional Photonic Crystals with a Complete Photonic Bandgap in Chalcogenide Glasses

was introducednearly twenty years ago. However, the fabrication of high-quality 3D structures for the optical regime still remains achallenge. Three techniques have been discussed: i) directsemiconductor fabrication by using a layer-by-layer (LbL)method, combining high-precision alignment and wafer-fusiontechniques;
