We have applied a simple approach to analyze behavior of the harmonically mode-locked fiber laser incorporating an adjustable Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). Our model is able to describe key features of the laser outputs and explore limitations of physical mechanisms responsible for laser operation at different pulse repetition rates tuned over a whole GHz range. At low repetition rates the laser operates as a harmonically mode-locked soliton laser triggered by a fast saturable absorber. At high repetition rates the laser mode-locking occurs due to dissipative four-wave mixing seeded by MZI and gain spectrum filtering.
