A laser includes a resonator terminated by first and second mirrors and including a gain medium providing fundamental radiation. A first optically-nonlinear element is located in the resonator. The first optically-nonlinear element is cooperatively arranged with the first mirror to provide passive modelocking of the fundamental radiation by sequentially converting a first portion of the circulating fundamental radiation to second-harmonic radiation and reconverting a first portion of the second-harmonic radiation to fundamental radiation. A second optically-nonlinear element is arranged to convert a second portion of the second-harmonic radiation to either third-harmonic radiation or fourth-harmonic radiation.
