heal.abstract	A technique for repetition-frequency multiplication of a mode-locked, optical pulse train is presented. It is based on fast saturation of a semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) in a fiber ring cavity, induced by an externally introduced optical pulse train. With this technique is has been possible to demonstrate a factor-of-6 frequency multiplication up to 34.68 GHz frequency at the output of the multiplier circuit. The circuit is expected to have applications in clock multiplication and temporal synchronization circuits for ultrahigh-speed optical logic circuits.	en
