An investigation was made of lasers utilizing the F/sub 2/, F/sup +//sub 2/, and F/sup -//sub 2/ centers emitting in the spectral range 0.6--1.26 ..mu... Quasi-cw stimulated emission from the F/sup -//sub 2/ centers was obtained as a result of pumping with a cw YAG laser (lambda=1.06 ..mu..). Thermal tuning of the emission frequency was observed and a qualitative explanation of this effect was found. The time stability of the centers and the influence of the pump radiation were studied. A fairly simple method for restoring the F/sup +//sub 2/ centers was found.
