We have observed a laser oscillation when a cloud of magneto-optically trapped cesium atoms is inserted in an optical cavity. The laser oscillation occurs at a frequency which is detuned from the trapping beam frequency by 150 kHz. The gain mechanism is due to stimulated Raman processes recently observed in such media.
