Abstract

A fiber laser device includes a pumping light source, an amplifying fiber, an input side fiber fusion-spliced on an input side of the amplifying fiber and formed with a HR-FBG, an output side fiber fusion-spliced on an output side of the amplifying fiber and formed with an OC-FBG having a reflectivity smaller than that of the HR-FBG, an output end, and a mode filter, wherein the input side fiber or an intermediate fiber disposed between the amplifying fiber and the input side fiber is fusion-spliced with the amplifying fiber via a fusion splice portion, and at least a portion of the mode filter is disposed in a region between the fusion splice portion and a position separated from the fusion splice portion by a coherence length of beating caused by mode interference of signal light propagating in the amplifying fiber.
