Claim 8:
9. A method, the method comprising:
generating, by an optical source, a beam of light, wherein the optical source includes a waveguide that amplifies emitted light;
slicing, by a first modulator, the beam of light into a plurality of pulses;
receiving, by a pre-amplifier, the plurality of pulses and producing pre-amplified plurality of pulses;
encoding, by a second modulator, data on the pre-amplified plurality of pulses to produce an encoded plurality of pulses; and
receiving, by a spectrally-equalizing amplifier, the encoded plurality of pulses and producing a filtered plurality of pulses, wherein the spectrally-equalizing amplifier spectrally equalizes a gain applied to the encoded plurality of pulses,
wherein the optical source, the first modulator, the pre-amplifier, the second modulator, and the spectrally-equalizing amplifier are part of an optical system, and
the optical system is a lidar system.
