A self-starting mode-locked Cr4+:YAG laser is reported, which incorporates a broadband SESAM and uses a piece of GTI mirror to compensate the intra-cavity group-delay dispersion. 65-fs pulses are generated at an average power of 95 mW with a 45 nm spectral bandwidth centered at 1508 nm under the pump power of 9 W.
