%J 中国物理快报 %D 2008 %I %X We report a highly efficient and high power self-starting femtosecond Cr:forsterite laser pumped by a 1064-nm Yb doped fibre laser. Five chirped mirrors are used to compensate for the intra-cavity group-delay dispersion, and the mode-locking is initiated by a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). Under pump power of 7.9W, stable femtosecond laser pulses with average power of 760mW are obtained, yielding a pump power slope efficiency of 12.3%. The measured pulse duration and spectral bandwidth (FWHM) are 46fs and 45nm; the repetition rate is 82MHz. %K 42 %K 60 %K 42&prev_q=Fc')">42" target="_blank">Fc')">42 %K 60 %K Fc %K 42 %K 60 %K Lh %K 42&prev_q=')"> 42" target="_blank">')"> 42 %K 72 %K Ai
