“…[11][12][13][14][15][16][17] In optical device materials, organically modified silicate glasses/transparent polymers have been actively pursued to develop novel optical devices, such as lasers, optical switches, optical fibers, waveguides, laser amplifiers, optical displays, and data storage devices. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] In addition, we can also control the porosity of those organically modified silica, polysilsesquioxanes, by inserting different molecules or sizes of organic spacers as shown the void space in Figure 3 (right); due to the insertion of organic spacers, the porosity of the resulting hybrid glass significantly increased. [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] The expanded pores allow us to dope semiconductor or metal particles without any significant mechanical cracks.…”
