Abstract
A light source, including: a pulse generator for providing an initial sequence of light pulses, the initial sequence of light pulses including an initial number of light pulses within a predetermined time period, first and second optical arms, for propagating, respectively, first and second sequences of light pulses, each derived from the initial sequence of light pulses, wherein the first optical arm includes a first manipulator configured to generate the first sequence of light pulses from the initial sequence of light pulses, wherein the light source includes a nonlinear optical element arranged to receive the first sequence of light pulses or the second sequence of light pulses, and an optical switch arranged to switch that either the first sequence of light pulses or the second sequence of light pulses is received by the nonlinear optical element.
