摘要：

We report a low-lass broadband semiconductor saturable-absorber mirror (SESAM) that uses gold film as the reflector. A semiconductor-SiO2 double-layer stack enhances the reflectivity of the gold film. This low-loss SESAM was used in a mode-locked Cr:forsterite laser to produce self-starting 20-fs-scale laser pulses at 1.3 mu m. The structure can be applied to SESAM's for other wavelengths.
