摘要：

Using a single diode laser to pump a Kerr-lens mode-locked Cr:LiSAF laser, we demonstrate the generation of Fourier-transform limited 26-fs pulses with spectral bandwidth of 34 nm. A novel cavity design for the mode-locked laser was used to focus tightly the pump beam. We have pointed out that the prism edge near the folding mirrors in the laser cavity plays a role of the hard aperture for Kerr-lens mode-locking.
