Abstract
A dual cavity laser having a positively mode-locked structure capable of double increasing the repetition rate of output light. The dual cavity laser includes an amplitude modulator to simultaneously generate two modulating signals with opposite phases. The dual cavity laser has a simply modified structure from that of the conventional single cavity laser to have two resonators, so that it can have a repetition rate corresponding to two times that of the single cavity laser. One of the resonators may have an adjusted optical property so as to obtain two kinds of output optical pulses with different optical properties.
