The lasing properties of Ln{sup 3+} ions in numerous alkaline-earth rare-earth tungstates have been extensively investigated. In this work, undertaken in continuation of previous studies, the authors observed both low-threshold pulsed and quasi-continuous lasing of Pr{sup 3+} ions ({sup 1}D{sub 2} {yields} {sup 3}F{sub 4} transition) in two crystals of this family, KY(WO{sub 4}){sub 2} and KGd(WO{sub 4}){sub 2}.
