β-Ga2O3∶Cr single crystals have potential applications for tunable laser. In β-Ga2O3 crystal structure Cr3+ ions are in octahedron other than tetrahedron. So the Cr3+ ions are influenced by low field of β-Ga2O3 that results the 4T2 to 4A2 transition and show broad emission around 690 nm. β-Ga2O3 single crystals doped with different Cr3+ concentrations were grown by floating zone technique. Their absorption spectra and fluorescence spectra were measured at room temperature. The values of field splitting parameter Dq and Racah parameter B were calculated based on the absorption spectra.
