We report the observation of bursts of transform-limited 0.65-psec pulses at 1-GHz repetition rates by passive mode locking of a buried optical guide laser in an external cavity. The lasers contain a saturable absorber at the exit facet, specifically introduced by 600-keV proton bombardment at a 3 x 10/sup 15/- cm/sup -2/ dosage level.
