A cladding is provided at an outer periphery of a solid-core doped with rare earth ions, and a metal layer is formed to be adjacent to the cladding to provide an optical fiber for a fiber laser device. The metal layer having an inner metal layer and an outer metal layer is disposed along an entire length of the optical fiber for a fiber laser device. An exciting light is incident to the optical fiber for a fiber laser device, and the exciting light is reflection-excited to emit a high power laser oscillation light. A monitoring current is constantly flown into the metal layer. When the disconnection of the optical fiber for a fiber laser device is detected based on the monitoring current, the energization of the optical fiber for a fiber laser device is stopped.
