Abstract
We synthesized a series of sol–gel silica matrices doped with laser dyes DCM, LK678, LD1, and LD2 which alcohol solutions have efficient lasing in the red spectral region and Rh800–in the near infrared (NIR) one. Absorption, fluorescence, and laser properties of the dyes in silica samples prepared by sol–gel process were investigated. It has found some peculiarities in preparation process of the laser matrices and in spectral characteristics of the dyes in these matrices.
