  text: It is well known that robust and reliable photonic crystal structures can
    be  manufactured with very high precision by electrochemical etching of silicon
    wafers, which results in two- and three-dimensional photonic crystals made of
    macroporous silicon. However, tuning of the photonic properties is necessary in
    order to apply these promising structures in integrated optical devices. For this
    purpose, different effects have been studied, such as the infiltration with addressable
    dielectric liquids (liquid crystals), the utilization of Kerr-like nonlinearities
    of the silicon, or free-charge carrier injection by means of linear (one-photon)
    and nonlinear (two-photon) absorptions. The present article  provides a review,
    critical discussion, and perspectives about state-of-the-art tuning capabilities.
