1. A method of providing a laser pulse, the method comprising:

  • providing a seed signal to a first port of an optical circulator;

    outputting the seed signal from a second port of the optical circulator;

    providing a first electrical signal to an electrical port of an amplitude modulator;

    outputting an optical signal from an optical port of the amplitude modulator to an input end of an optical amplifier;

    amplifying the optical signal to provide an amplified optical signal;

    providing a second electrical signal to the electrical port of the amplitude modulator to form a reshaped optical signal; and

    inputting the reshaped optical signal to the second port of the optical circulator.
