Nanoporous compound materials for optical applications - microlasers and microresonators

摘要

This book chapter is the first part of a review of nanoporous materials foroptical applications. Whereas the second part [J.Sauer, F. Marlow andF.Schueth, pp. 153-172 of the same volume] discusses material properties, thispart gives a self-contained discussion of fluorescence and lasing in dielectricmicroresonators, with special emphasis on the hexagonal morphology found inmolecular-sieve-dye compounds.
