Abstract
Sol–gel processing was used to obtain two different kinds of confined structures for photonic applications: (i) Er3+-activated sol–gel silica derived spherical microresonators and (ii) Er3+-activated silica inverse opal. Optical and spectroscopic assessment, as well as morphological and structural characterization of the systems, were performed.
