Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for providing at least one electromagnetic radiation, comprising: at least one source first hardware arrangement which is configured to provide at least one first electromagnetic radiation having a frequency that changes repetitively over time with a first characteristic duty cycle, wherein the first characteristic duty cycle is less than 0.5; and at least one optical system second hardware arrangement which is configured to receive and modify the at least one first electromagnetic radiation into at least one second electromagnetic radiation with a second characteristic duty cycle that is greater than the first characteristic duty cycle, wherein the second electromagnetic radiation has a frequency that changes repetitively over time with a particular period, and wherein the at least one second arrangement includes a resonant cavity having a round-trip propagation time for the at least one first electromagnetic radiation that is approximately the same as the particular period.
