Hybrid photosensitive materials were prepared by using vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES), tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and tetrabutoxytitanate (TTBu) precursors through sol-gel technique. The materials are intended for optical telecommunication applications. Thus, high optical transmissions at the second and...
