Modulators based on second harmonic generation and stimulated Raman scattering in an additional cavity or antiresonant loop are proposed for self-mode locking of CW solid-state lasers. Based on analysis of statistical properties and the fluctuation model of generation of CW solid-state lasers, the efficiency of these modulators as inertialess discriminators of fluctuation spikes of radiation of an active medium with the fast response time is shown. The proposed modulators provide effective self-mode locking resulting in the generation of stable continuous trains of ultrashort pulses (USP) at the carrier and doubled (or Stokes) frequencies simultaneously. The regions of parameters of effective self-mode locking are found for the case of Ti: sapphire laser. 33 refs., 4 figs.
