Dipyrromethene-BF2 PM597 dye-doped copolymers resembling inorganic-organic hybrids were characterized towards their application as solid-state laser rods. The inorganic function was entered by the silicon containing constituent 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSPMA). The organic constituents are monomers with one [methyl methacrylate (MMA)], two [ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA)], three [pentaerythriol triacrylate (PETA)], and four [pentaerythriol tetraacrylate (PETRA)] polymerizable groups. The thermo-mechanical stability of the samples increased with the number of cross-linking groups (studied by thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry), while the optical and lasing parameters were found to be similarly good for all investigated silicon containing samples (fluorescence quantum yield around 60 %, excited-state absorption less than 10 % of ground-state absorption, more than 3 million excitation cycles before degradation).
