The first observation of laser oscillation from a single crystal of CaGa2S4:Eu2+ (1 at%) is described in this report. A liquid nitrogen cooled thin platelet (0.8 mm thick), whose one flat surface was coated with aluminum to increase the reflectivity, was excited from the other uncoated side with a pulsed dye laser beam having a photon energy of around 2.48 eV. When the input power density exceeded a threshold value of ~10 MW/cm2, a directional beam having a sharp spectral line at around 2.19 eV emerged from the sample. This laser was found to have interesting wavelength tunability extending to ~200 A, possibly related to the broad gain spectrum of Eu2+ emission in this material.
