Systems and methods for generating RF pulses that have a reduced phase error are disclosed. The systems are optical based and thus are highly linear, so that phase errors, including jitter, are significantly reduced as compared to electrical RF pulse generation systems and methods. The optical-based RF pulse generation methods includes generating laser light, imparting an envelope modulation to the laser light, imparting a carrier modulation to the laser light, and detecting the envelope-modulated and carrier-modulated light to form the electrical RF pulse. The electrical RF pulse can then be carried by a cable to an external device.
