Abstract

In this work, the laser dye PM567 was incorporated into various organically modified silicate gel glasses (ORMOSILs) derived by methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) and vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) precursors mixed in various ratios. The laser performances of PM567 doped into MTES–VTES-derived ORMOSILs including the laser slope efficiency, threshold and lifetime together with the spectroscopic properties were investigated. Blue-shifts of fluorescent peaks, extended fluorescent lifetime, improved laser efficiency and lifetime of PM567 doped into ORMOSILs derived by mixed precursors of MTES and VTES have been observed, which might related to the microstructures and micro-chemical environment of the dye in ORMOSILs.
