An optical repeater includes an optical splitter for splitting an optical input data pulse stream of wavelength &lgr;0 into first and second components. The first component is supplied to a first. mode-locked laser diode to produce a first clock pulse stream of wavelength &lgr;1 which is synchronized to the input data pulse stream. The first clock pulse stream is fed to a second mode-locked laser diode to produce a second clock pulse stream of wavelength &lgr;0 which is synchronized to the first clock pulse stream. The second clock pulse stream is entered to an optical gate. The second component of the input data from the splitter is amplified sufficiently to control the optical gate to modulate the second clock pulse stream so that the data pulse pattern is impressed on the second clock pulse stream.

A semiconductor laser is provided which is capable of generating a train of ultrashort light pulses with an ultrahigh repetition frequency and which is useful in optical communications and optical information processing. The semiconductor laser is a mode-locked semiconductor laser which has two resonator cavities which are formed by two facets and a distributed feedback structure between these two facets. The length of the resonator cavity formed between one facet and the distributed feedback structure is 1/m (where m is an integer) of the length of the resonator cavity formed by the other facet and the distributed feedback structure. A saturable absorption region and a high-frequency modulation region are provided within the longer of the resonator cavities. By making the high-frequency modulation frequency be equal to the round trip frequency of the light within the longer resonator cavity, mode-locked operation is achieved. Because of the linking of the shorter resonator cavity, a train of light pulses having a repetition frequency of m times the mode-locked pulse train frequency is obtained.
