Abstract
An optical fiber cladding optical filter includes an elongated capillary tube including an inner surface positioned surrounding an elongated optical fiber proximate or adjacent an exterior surface of the optical fiber and an outer surface positioned spaced from the exterior surface of the optical fiber. A grating formed on the outer surface of the elongated capillary tube aids in suppressing evanescent laser light that exits the optical fiber transverse to a longitudinal axis of the optical fiber. The elongated optical fiber and surrounding elongated capillary tube can include one or more curves along a length thereof to aid in the removal of one or more higher order laser modes as evanescent laser light that exits the optical fiber. The one or more curves can be received in a container to prevent or avoid evanescent laser exiting the optical fiber from propagating into an ambient environment.
