A pulsed fibre laser is fabricated which is based on an active fibre with a multielement cladding and an additional single-mode fibre providing nonlinear feedback. The peak output power of the laser is ∼1 kW for 20-ns pulses. The emission spectra of the laser with additional fibres having different nonlinear and dispersion properties are investigated.
