The influence of gamma irradiation on optical and lasing properties of Nd:YAG, Er:YAG and CTH:YAG single crystals was studied. The increase in optical output was established for rods without thermal annealing. The possible mechanisms of radiation sensibilization are discussed.

Optical features (absorption and luminescence spectra) for Er^{3+} doped yttrium-aluminium garnet (YAG), yttrium orthoaluminate (YAP) and LiNbO3 crystals as well as their changes after UV and gamma irradiations are presented. Possibility of gamma-induced sensibilization process in Er^{3+} doped crystals is discussed. Positive result for non-pre-annealed gamma-irradiated rods of Er^{3+}:YAG crystal was stated.

The results of investigation of the influence of γ-radiation by ^{60}Co-source on the YAlO_{3}:Nd laser generation characteristics are presented in this paper. The significant decrease in the output energy after γ-irradiation was obtained. The energetic characteristics are restored after illumination of the γ-irradiated laser rods by 1000-10000 pulses of the pumping lamp light. The additional absorption spectrum is induced by γ-irradiation in the crystals. The nature of the created in this way colour centres is discussed. The mechanism of influence of the colour centres on generation properties of the crystals is discussed.
