You want to send "IR signals" without modulation. In principle simple; 
you just put

frequency 0

in your lircd.conf. However, not all components can handle non-modulated 
signals though. (lircd only since 2015: 
https://sourceforge.net/p/lirc/tickets/132) Make sure that you are using 
a driver that can handle unmodulated signals; I do not know the status 
of the current RPi stuff. ("My" driver 
https://github.com/bengtmartensson/lirc_rpi definitely does, but is not 
compatible with current kernels.)
