Abstract :
Summary form only given. The results of the investigation of the lasing on the transition in the Cr/sup 3+/,Yb/sup 3+/,Ho/sup 3+/:YScGG crystal are presented. The laser on the Cr/sup 3+/,Yb/sup 3+/,Ho/sup 3+/:YScGG crystal has the parameters suitable for the practical applications. This crystal for the Q-switch-mode operation and for the amplifiers in the 3-/spl mu/m range of a spectrum is presented.
