Abstract
The present invention discloses an optical fiber laser and a method of harmonic mode locking utilizing the optical fiber laser, which is capable of locking a harmonic frequency occurred by inserting an optical modulator between a Faraday rotator mirror and a non-linear amplifying loop mirror to coincide the frequency component of the optical modulator with the frequency component of the longitudinal mode of the laser. In order to achieve the object of the present invention, it comprises an optical fiber laser which comprises a non-linear amplifying loop mirror, a linear mirror and an optical fiber directional coupler or fiber coupler.
