Abstract

Alexandrite (BeAl₂O₄:Cr³⁺) is a broadly tunable solid-state laser material with an RT emission cross section at 750 nm of 7 × 10⁻²¹ cm²,¹ some 100 times smaller than that of YAG:Nd³⁺ and 4 times smaller than that of ruby (Al₂O₃:Cr³⁺). The lower emission cross section of alexandrite has generally limited the peak power available from Q-switched pulses.
