We demonstrate a high-repetition-rate Er-doped all fiber laser with nonlinear-polarization-rotation mode-locking. The highest repetition rate of the laser is 217 MHz. The fiber laser has a very simple and compact structure and can output a stable mode-locking pulse only by using one polarization-dependent isolator and a polarization controller. The pulse width, spectral width and signal-to-noise ratio are measured to be 69 fs, 56 nm and 76 dB respectively.
