High-energy square pulses operating in dissipative soliton resonance region are experimentally observed in an erbium-doped figure-of-eight fiber laser with large net-normal dispersion for the first time to our knowledge. The dissipative soliton resonance is achieved by using the nonlinear-amplifying-loop-mirror mode-locked technique. The output pulse duration broadens linearly with the increase of pump power, while the peak power maintains a constant value. At the maximum pump power of 620 mW, the intracavity pulse energy is up to 379.2 nJ, and the average output power is 14.02 mW.
