We develop a numerical model of active mode-locking of solid state lasers taking into account the coherence time of the active medium. The results are compared to the analytical treatment of Kuizenga and Siegman for extremely short pulse durations. The effects of intracavity frequency doubling and of a nonlinear mirror are easily incorporated into the model. The model is applied to find the optimum conditions for additional pulse shortening and frequency conversion based on these two effects.
