A simple solution for increasing the slope efficiency of a gain-switched fiber laser based on Yb-doped active fiber is presented. By adding a fiber amplifier stage, which recovers the unabsorbed pump light from the gain-switched oscillator, a significant increase in slope efficiency is achieved. The pulses at 1030-nm wavelength have an FWHM of 28 ns and a peak power of 2.3 kW.
