In this work, a sol-gel route was used to prepare Y 0.9 Er 0.1 Al 3 (BO 3 ) 4 glassy thin films by spin-coating technique looking for the preparation and optimization of planar waveguides for integrated optics. The films were deposited on silica and silicon substrates using stable sols synthesized b
