Self-modelocked operation of a cw-pumped Cr:forsterite laser and the generation of pulses as short as 25fs from a self-modelocked Cr:forsterite laser with optimized cavity dispersion are demonstrated. The pulse duration is limited by the gain bandwidth of Cr:forsterite and corresponds to only 6 optical cycles. From measurements of the performance of the laser the dispersion and nonlinearity of forsterite are obtained. Finally, a regime of modelocked operating which has not been observed previously is reported along with a tentative explanation in terms of gain saturation and gain dispersion.
