A Q-switched operation of a 1064 nm Nd³⁺-doped cladding-pumped silica fiber laser using an electro-optic modulation has been presented. The laser developed worked at the repetition rate of up to 10 kHz. For a 5 m-long double-clad fiber, pulses with the energy of 0.36 mJ and the pulse duration of 84 ns have been obtained. For the same fiber of 3 m length, pulses of 154 µJ energy and 48 ns duration have been achieved.
