Optical fibres with depressed claddings for suppression of coupling into cladding modes in fibre Bragg gratings

A new method for suppression of coupling from guided optical modes into cladding modes in an optical fiber Bragg grating using a fiber with a strongly depressed cladding is proposed. Strong suppression of the coupling has been demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally.
