The cover picture shows the near-field photographs of radiation mode patterns of

several low-order counterpropagating modes (LP 0n ). These are excited by the forward

propagating core mode in a 6-mm-long, side-tap grating with a 2° blaze angle, written

into the core of a single mode fiber. Artwork by Arjun Kashyap.
