Abstract
Disclosed is a nonlinear optical system for generating or amplifying light pulses by N-wave mixing, including a nonlinear optical medium suitable for receiving at least one first light pulse and one second light pulse. The system includes a fast modulation device for modulating a time delay between the second light pulse and the first pulse light in the nonlinear optical medium, the time delay modulation device being placed upstream of the nonlinear optical medium, and the time delay modulation device being modulated at least between a first delay value and a second delay value, so as to modulate the generation or amplification of a light pulse by N-wave mixing of the at least one first light pulse et one second light pulse in the nonlinear optical medium.
