Synchronous mode locking of a semiconductor diode laser and an acousto-optically mode-locked Ar/sup +/-ion laser has been obtained by using a Cr-doped GaAs picosecond optoelectronic switch for synchronous excitation. Synchronously mode-locked pulses with 30-ps duration (full width at half maximum) are generated at a repetition rate of 80.32 MHz with a buried heterostructure GaAs/GaAlAs double heterostructure laser.
