Alexandrite (BeAl/sub 2/O/sub 4/:Cr/sup 3 +/) crystals have been growing by the Czochralski technique and continually tunable laser output with energy of 304 mJ and slope efficiency of 0.46% in the wavelength range from 735 to 786 nm has been obtained using c-axis rods. Tunable Q-switch pulse output and LiIO/sub 3/ double-frequency have been also obtained.
