In a fiber laser apparatus that uses a rare earth added fiber as a light amplifying medium of a resonator or amplifier, the rare earth added fiber is a photonic bandgap fiber in which a rare earth element has been added to a core. Moreover, the loss when the rare earth element absorption portion is excluded from the transmission loss in this photonic bandgap fiber is such that the transmission loss in the wavelength of primary Stokes light that is generated by induced Raman scattering is greater than the transmission loss in the wavelength of light that is output by the fiber laser apparatus. According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a fiber laser apparatus that suppresses the generation of Raman light created by induced Raman scattering, and suppresses the amplification of secondary Stokes light, and is able to efficiently amplify the power of the signal light that is the amplification target.
