Highly efficient ({approx}70%) second harmonic generation of tightly focused femtosecond radiation from a Cr:forsterite laser is obtained in a LiNbO{sub 3} crystal. The pulse energy amounts to 10 nJ, the spatial and spectral quality of second harmonic radiation being preserved. (nonlinear optical phenomena)
