A study was made of the lasing characteristics of new active media in the form of microporous glass containing a dye. The efficiency of conversion of the pump radiation, and the spatial and frequency spectra of the output radiation were determined for lasers with dispersive and nondispersive resonators and with active elements in the form of an ethanol solution of rhodamine 6G or microporous glass containing either rhodamine 6G or its ethanol solution. It was found that the use of active elements made of microporous glass and containing rhodamine 6G improved considerably the spatial characteristics of the output radiation compared with those obtained using liquid active media.
