An ultrafast pulsed laser has important applications in some fields, such as laser processing and strong field physics, because of its ultrashort response time and ultrahigh peak power. Accordingly, the ultrafast pulsed laser has been rapidly developed in the visible range with the development of the blue laser diodes and the praseodymium-ion-doped laser gain media. In this study, we mainly review the research progress and status of ultrafast pulsed lasers in the visible range, and describe the applications of the mode-locking technology in the visible range, including Kerr-lens mode-locking, high repetition rate GHz-frequency self-mode-locking, and mode-locking based on saturable absorbers. Further, the futher development direction and perspectives of ultrafast visible lasers are prospected.
