1. An optical device comprising:

  • (a) an optical fiber having an outer surface;

    (b) support means for rigidly supporting said outer surface in a fixed relationship to said support means, a portion of said outer surface and said support means being directly molecularly interfaced along a longitudinal portion of said outer surface of said fiber, said fiber being asymmetrically disposed with respect to said support means;

    (c) a wavelength-selective filter superimposed on a portion of said fiber and said support means to diffract predetermined wavelengths of light at the outer surface of the fiber; and

    (d) tension means for providing axial tension to said optical fiber while said support means is being directly molecularly interfaced along said longitudinal portion of said outer surface of said fiber.
