Abstract
The progress in a field of a technology of crystals doped by metal ions, which occured in 70s and 80s years caused the appearance of the series of new crystalic, active materials which are characterized by the wide luminescence bands and thus suitable for the tunable lasers. Such crystals as an alexandrite (BeAl2O4:Cr3+), sapphire doped titanium (Al2O3:Ti3+), forsterite (Mg2SiO4:Cr4+) and the so called black YAG (Y3Al5O12:Cr4+) enable the construction of tunable lasers operating at room temperature in the range from 700 nm to 1580 nm [3].
