Abstract: The physical and laser properties of beryllium-containing BeAl₂O₄, BeAl₆O₁₀, Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈, and BeLaAl₁₁O₁₉ oxide crystals doped with chromium and titanium ions are studied. The Cr³⁺:BeAl₂O₄, Cr³⁺:BeAl₆O₁₀, and Ti³⁺:BeAl₂O₄ crystals were shown to compare favourably in physical and laser properties with the well-known laser media and to be candidates for femtosecond laser systems.
