Direct diode-laser pumping of a mode-locked $\mathrm{Ti}\text{:}{\mathrm{Al}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_3$ laser is reported. A single $1\mathrm{W}$ GaN-based diode laser operating at $452\mathrm{nm}$ is used as the pump laser. Pulse durations as short as $114\mathrm{fs}$ and average output powers of up to $13\mathrm{mW}$ are obtained.
