Disclosed is a system for generating short or ultra-short light pulses, including a light source configured to emit temporally continuous-wave light radiation, an electrical generator configured to operate at a tunable frequency in a passband included between 5 and 100 GHz and to emit an analogue modulating electrical signal including at least one electrical pulse of duration included between 10 ps and 100 ps, and an electro-optical modulator having electrodes and an electrical passband that are suitable for receiving the analog modulating electrical signal, the electro-optical modulator being configured to optically amplitude modulate the continuous-wave light radiation depending of the analog modulating electrical signal and to generate modulated light radiation including at least one light pulse of duration included between 10 ps and 100 ps.
