The authors report room-temperature mid-IR laser operation in a new low-phonon-frequency, non-hygroscopic host crystal CaGa{sub 2}S{sub 4} (calcium thiogallate). Laser action at 4.31 {micro}m on the {sup 6}H{sub 11/2} {r_arrow}{sup 6}H{sub 13/2} transition of trivalent dysprosium was achieved with a slope efficiency of 1.6%.
