Examined praseodymium doped crystals with 1 at.% of Pr^{3+} ions for Y_{3}Al_{5}O_{12} (YAG), SrLaGa_{3}O_{7} (SLGO) hosts and 3 at.% of Pr^{3+} ions for YAlO_{3} (YAP) hosts were produced using Czochralski method. The luminescence for the range of 200÷800 nm and absorption spectra for a wide range of 200÷6000 nm, for Pr^{3+}:YAG, Pr^{3+}:SLGO and Pr^{3+}:YAP crystals have been measured. A free-running laser emission of λ=0.744 μm for Pr:YAG and λ=0.729 μm for Pr:SLGO for two different transmissions of output mirrors has been obtained.
