On the other hand, in the sol-gel method, it is known that a rapid hydrolysis reaction, a precipitation and the like before gelation or a phase separation phenomenon due to solubility can occur. The phase separation phenomenon has also been reported in a study on the production of a silica coating film containing a methyl group. Precipitation and phase separation greatly affect the homogeneity of the gel body and impair the properties of the optical material. Therefore, how to suppress these phenomena during the preparation of the matrix has been an issue.

In this way, the network unit is R
By using SiO 3/2 , the size of the gap in the skeleton of the network of the matrix becomes sufficiently large, and high-concentration doping of an organic substance having a large molecular weight becomes possible. The contained organic group R is typically a hydrocarbon group such as a methyl group, an ethyl group, an n-propyl group, an isopropyl group, a phenyl group and a vinyl group, and, of course, contains two or more kinds of organic groups. It may be. Even if an organic group having a higher carbon number is introduced, the gelation time becomes too long. In order to increase the size of the gap in the skeleton, the methyl group is most preferable, but it may be appropriately selected depending on the type and amount of the organic substance to be doped.

When methyl is contained as the organic group R in the method for producing a transparent silica bulk material containing an organic group, an alcohol solvent is not added to the starting material, and partial hydrolysis with water less than the theoretical amount is carried out. -It is necessary to remove at least 50% of the alcohol produced by the polycondensation reaction from the system. Here, the generated alcohol is removed from the system at a temperature not higher than the boiling point of the alcohol. It is preferable that a small amount of alcohol remains in order to obtain a uniform solution in the second and subsequent additions of water, but if a large amount of alcohol is contained, (RSiO 3/2 ) n crystals are formed as the reaction progresses.
