The effect of increasing the rigidity of the host matrix by controlled crosslinking of the polymeric chains on the lasing and photophysical properties of pyrromethene 567 (PM567) was evaluated. To this end, the dye was dissolved in 2,2,2-trifluoromethyl methacrylate (TFMA) together with different amounts of the crosslinking monomer ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA). Increasing the concentration of this crosslinker monomer resulted in significant increases in both lasing efficiency and photostability. Good correlation between fluorescence and lasing properties has been observed, indicating the existence of an optimum degree of crosslinking for which lasing efficiency and photostabilty reach their highest values. These new solid materials show lasing efficiencies up to 18% when transversely pumped at 534 nm and good photostabilities, with a decrease in the initial laser output of 45% after 10000 pump pulses.
