Pure wave forms can be generated with qualities exceeding those obtained using external modulators. This is illustrated through the application to the distributed Brillouin sensing that shows significant progress with respect to established techniques. © 2004 IOP Publishing Ltd.Optical fibersSignal generatorsOptical sensorsSemiconductor materialsLaser applicationsModulatorsPerformanceNovel schemes for optical signal generation using laser injection locking with application to Brillouin sensingtext::journal::journal article::research article
