Abstract
Spectroscopic studies of Cr4+ ions in different hosts are reported. Absorption and fluorescence spectra of Cr:Y2SiO5,the newest member of the Cr4+ doped laser crystals are presented. Low temperature luminescence data in the near infrared (NIR) has shown evidence of two types of emissions from both Cr:Y2SiO5 and Cr:Ca2Al2SiO7 in the 1200 nm band. There is also indication of a second unstable emisión center in Cr:Mg2SiO4 in the 1200 nm band.
