Abstract A long‐period grating (LPG) written in the cladding of an optical fiber is demonstrated.The optical fiber is specially designed and manufactured, which cladding is photosensitive, and core is not . The cladding LPG is written in by illuminating a cladding photosensitive fiber with an UV lamp through an amplitude grating mask. The cladding LPG is compared with a core LPG manufactured in the same way, and the property of the cladding LPG is different from that of the core LPG. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
