초록

A non-hydrolytic sol-gel process was developed to fabricate low-hydroxyl hard gels. The reaction of tert-butyl alcohol with silicon halides provided transparent low-hydroxyl hard gels. Some properties such as transparency, density, and refractive index was successfully doped into the hard gel matrices. The absorption spectrum of an erbium-doped methylsilsesquioxane was investigated to decide the pumping wavelength of an argon laser. The luminescence of the erbium-doped gel at 664 nm seems to be due to $4^F{9/2}\to 4^I_{15/2}$ transition.
