Title: Method and system for arbitrary optical pulse generation

Abstract

A system, method, and apparatus for continuous seed laser pulses supplied to a CW pumped pre-amplifier and/or power-amplifier chain comprises an optical modulator configured to impress pulse signals on an optical signal, a waveform generator configured to establish a structure of the optical signal, and a keep-alive circuit that generates a continuous electrical pulse pattern provided to the optical modulator, wherein the system provides a continuous seed laser pulse structure.
