We have proposed and demonstrated the generation of high power, wide band square-wave pulse in a figure-8 Yb-doped mode-locked fiber laser. The fiber laser operates at 1083.65 nm with 3 dBbandwidth of 6.5 nm, which can emit nanosecond square pulses with a maximum average output power of 1.31 W and peak power 40 W, respectively. The bandwidth, to the best of our knowledge, is the widest output bandwidth in a square-wave pulse fiber laser operating at 1 μm band.
