Cr: LiCAF is a kind of very useful material for tunable solid state lasers. In this paper the laser performance of Cr: LiCAF is reported for the first time. The broad band emitting of 472 mJ with a slope efficiency of about 1.2% and the tuning range of 722～836 nm as well as a maximum output energy of 60 mJ at wavelength of 780 nm have beenobtained.
