Abstract
A boule of Cr:LiSGAF (Cr/sup 3+/:LiSrGaF/sub 6/), the Ga analog of Cr:LiSAF, was grown, a laser sample was fabricated, and its efficiency was measured using a laser-pumped laser configuration. The laser performance near 820 nm and related properties of Cr:LiSGAF are reported. The use of Sr instead of Ca results in a red shift of the absorption and emission band (along with an increase in the emission cross section). Insight into the effect of a change in the identity of the substitutional site on the properties of the laser is provided.<>Keywords
