15. 2O in 4 mL of deionized water followed by the addition of 1.55 g of tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS). The mixture was sonicated for 15 min to obtain sol. The freshly prepared sol (1 mL) was mixed with the same amount of deionized water and poured into polystyrene cuvettes. Gelation takes place in ca. 2 days. These sol-gels were allowed to age for 2-4 days.
16. Monolithic configurations were obtained by the formation of sol-gels in standard 4 mL polystyrene cuvettes. Films were formed by spin coating sol onto glass microscope slides. Typical film thickness was ca. 150 μm. The slides were first cleaned with water. The clean slides were then used for depositing films.

18. The samples containing FMN as a dopant were prepared by first making sol as described earlier [15]. The sol-gels containing FMN were obtained by mixing 2 mL of freshly prepared sol with 0.67 mL of deionized water and 0.25 mL of 0.001 M aqueous solution of FMN. The mixture was poured into a cuvette and covered with parafilm. Gelation takes place in about 4 days. These sol-gels were allowed to age for 1 week under ambient conditions prior to use.

20. 2O in 3 mL of acetate buffer (0.1 M, pH 4.6) followed by the addition of 1.55 g of TMOS. The mixture was sonicated for 10 min. To 0.5 mL of this sol, 20 μL of 8.25 M NaOH solution was added followed by the addition of 0.1 mL of acetate buffer (pH 4.6). To this mixture, 45 μL of 0.05 M FMN solution was added. Finally, 100 μL of polyvinyl alcohol (2.5 wt.-% in water) was added to enhance the mechanical properties of the films. For film formation, 100 μL of the mixture was used on a clean glass slide.
