The invention provides an optical fiber laser apparatus. In the invention,
an excitation light source outputs light of a given wavelength. A first
optical fiber generates light of a plurality of wavelengths including
light of a first wavelength by up-conversion from the output light. Also,
a first resonator includes first and second mirrors provided on both ends
of the first optical fiber, respectively. The first resonator selects the
first wavelength light to output via the second mirror. Further, a second
optical fiber amplifies an output of the first wavelength light incident
from the first resonator. In addition, the first and second mirrors have
higher reflexivity for the first wavelength light than the second
wavelength light having higher gain per length of the optical fiber. The
first fiber has a length set such that the first wavelength light
oscillates preferentially over the second wavelength light.
