A generator for generating an anti-Kerr modulated light signal, including a primary laser light source having four longitudinal modes or fewer and configured to generate a light signal, and means for modulating the light signal configured to modulate the power of the light signal by way of a square-wave or rectangular-wave control signal the duty cycle of which is lower than or equal to 50%, and which are adapted such that the modulated light signal is periodic and has:
- at a first point of the signal, a first power value equal to the product of its average power by a gain between 1.6 and 2.4,
- at a second point of the signal, a second, non-zero power value, that is different from the first power value.
