A method for amplifying light in a fiber laser comprising the steps of (a) providing a fiber laser having a laser active dopant; (b) pulse pumping the fiber with a pump having a peak power rating, at a predetermined frequency and at a predetermined duty cycle, wherein the duty cycle is less than one so as to define an effective frequency which substantially minimizing the buildup of ASE; and (c) transmitting a signal pulse after each pumping pulse.
