The Cr3+- and Ti3+-doped crystals of chrysoberyl (BeAl2O4) and beryllium hexaaluminate (BeAl6O10) are very attractive for generation of near-IR ultrashort laser pulses in a few-optical-cycle regime from mode-locked oscillators. This work presents a detailed study of dispersive properties of both crystals, which is necessary for optimal dispersion control in such lasers. Sellmeier equations for the chrysoberyl (Cr:BeAl2O4 – Alexandrite) and BeAl6O10 crystals were derived and second- and third-order dispersive properties (GVD and TOD, respectively) were analyzed. Position of the optical axes and conicity angle were also predicted for these biaxial crystals which is of practical importance for their applications as conerefringent elements in lasers and laser beam shapers.
