Abstract

Summary form only given. Oxide single crystals doped with Cr/sup 4+/ are well known as materials for tunable IR lasing and Q-switching. Their growth by the liquid phase (LPE) epitaxy method on substrates of the generating crystal allows to simplify the production and assembling of microlasers as well as results in reduction of their price. The work represents the first results on the growth and characterization of epitaxial layers of gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) co-doped with Mg(2+) and Cr/sup 4+/.
