We report on the first laser operation of a Sm-doped monoclinic KGd(WO) double tungstate crystal in the red spectral range. Pumped by a frequency-doubled optically pumped semiconductor laser (2ω-OPSL) at 479.1 nm, the 0.8 at. % Sm:KGd(WO) laser generated an output power up to 17.6 mW at 649.1 nm (the G → H transition) with a slope efficiency of 16.9%, a laser threshold down to 29 mW and a linear polarization. The laser exhibited a self-pulsing behavior, delivering µs-long pulses with a repetition rate of a few kHz. The polarized spectroscopic properties of Sm ions were determined as well.
