The electron vibration laser output in Alexandrite crystals has been obtained. The free oscillation threshold is 170 J, the laser output energy is 140 mJ, and the center wavelength is 7526 A. The emission is linearly polarized in the crystallographic b direction and the laser performance improves at elevated temperatures. Using a quartz double-refraction filter as a tuning element, tunable emission has been observed at room temperature.
