Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for modulating laser pulses by means of an electro-optical modulator which is operated by means of a pulsed modulation voltage. A voltage converter mounted upstream of the modulator converts a pulsed modulated switching voltage at an output voltage level to the modulation voltage that is higher than the output voltage level. The invention further relates to a method for modulating laser pulses.
