Picosecond pulses have been generated over a broad spectral range with passive mode locking of dye lasers pumped by a long-pulse XeCl laser. The rapid reduction of pulse duration to less than 10 ps was confirmed to occur within a few tens of round trips. The characteristics of mode locking were intensively investigated at the multiple wavelengths of rare-gas halide lasers such as KrF, ArF, and XeCl lasers, resulting in pulse durations of 5.5 ps at 497 nm and 7 ps at 580 nm, respectively.
