Abstract

The possibility of efficient modification of nanoporous glasses by supercritical fluid (SCF) impregnation of erbium and copper organometallics to pores and subsequent thermal annealing of glass is shown. Experiments demonstrate unambiguously the advantage of SCF impregnation approach over liquid impregnation -- much higher rate of impregnation and absence of residual solvents: supercritical fluid -- sc-CO₂-releases through pores. It was shown by monitoring Stark structure of Er³⁺ absorption bands and ESR spectra of CU²⁺ in glasses impregnated with Er and Cu organometallics that erbium and copper randomly built in network of glass. The maximal concentrations of Er³⁺ in nanoporous glass after SCF impregnation and subsequent annealing were estimated: 6x10²⁰ cm^-3 and 2x10²⁰ cm^-3 accordingly.
