Lasing is observed near 620 nm in a DCM dye doped TiO{sub 2}-content organically modified silicate (ORMO-SIL) pumped by frequency-doubled radiation from a diode-pumped {ital Q}-switched Nd:YAG laser. The laser wavelength is tunable over 60 nm. A conversion efficiency of 18{percent} is obtained at its central wavelength of 621 nm. The laser output energy has only a 10{percent} reduction after 27,000 pulses at a pump repetition rate of 30 Hz and a pump intensity of 1 J/cm{sup 2}. An all-solid-state, compact, long-lifetime, and tunable dye laser has been demonstrated. {copyright} 1997 Optical Society of America
