We investigate co-doped ZnSe: (Cr, Fe) laser crystals with an approach that includes both optical spectroscopy and theoretical modelling. We found that concentrations of chromium and iron up to 1018 cm-3 are optimal for obtaining a homogeneous solid solution in designing laser crystals. Higher dopant concentrations lead to the formation of clusters with spinel structure in the ZnSe matrix. The optimal effectiveness of ZnSe laser media with active Cr2+ and Fe2+ elements is achieved at temperatures of around 100 K.
