Abstract

Cro/CrOx-doped hybrid glasses are designed to develop novel laser device materials by inserting alkylene spacers between inorganic oxides. In TEM images, morphology of the organically modified hybrid glasses reveals highly arranged nano-periodic patterns. The nano-patterns observed from the hybrid glass based on alkylene-bridged xerogel are sustained over substantial domains and appears to arise from modified glassy lattice fringes. In electron diffraction pattern, it also shows the circled diffraction patterns arise from Cro/CrOx. In laser experiments, the hybrid glass shows a new optical property, which generates a huge acoustic wave; the diffraction efficiency (45 %) of the modified glass is higher than that of methanol (25 %); it means that the compressibility of the solid type of glass is as effective as the liquid. The hybrid glass shows a new optical property that hitherto hasn’t been found and could be useful for developing diffraction beam modulators.
