Provided is a millimeter-wave band frequency optical oscillator that can be used as an oscillation frequency signal source for a millimeter-wave forwarded to wireless subscribers from a base station of a millimeter-wave wireless subscriber communication system for a next generation (e.g., fifth generation) ultra-high speed wireless internet service. A pair of an optical fiber amplifier and an optical fiber grating mirror is connected to each of input/output ports of a loop mirror in parallel, so that a dual mode laser resonator is formed which can make simultaneous oscillation in two laser modes suitable for each wavelength. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain a light source that is modulated to a ultra-high frequency (over 60 GHz) by a beat phenomenon between the two laser modes.
