INJECTED LASER AND METHOD FOR GENERATING LONGITUDINAL MULTIMODE LASER PULSES

Disclosed is an injected laser including an optical amplifying medium arranged inside a triggered laser cavity, the optical amplifying medium having a spectral amplifying band. The injected laser includes an optical phase-modulation device, arranged between the injection source and the laser cavity, the optical phase-modulation device being configured to periodically modulate as a function of time a phase of the monochromatic continuous laser radiation at a modulation frequency equal to a natural integer multiple of the free spectral range of the laser cavity, so that the phase-modulated injection source generates a polychromatic injection radiation.
