Abstract
This paper reviews the spectroscopic properties of octahedral Cr3+ and tetrahedral Cr4+ active centers in silicate crystals of diopside (CaM gSi2O6), Sc2SiO5, AB(4)(SiO4)(3)O With A = Ca or Sr and B = Y, Ln, Gd. These crystals demonstrate unusual spectroscopic features and potenti al for new laser applications.
