We present a fiber laser made in a single piece of conventional doped-core fiber that operates by combined feedback of the fundamental core mode ${\mathrm{LP}}_{(0,1)}$ and the high-order cladding mode ${\mathrm{LP}}_{(0,10)}$ . The laser is an all-fiber structure that uses two fiber Bragg gratings and a long-period grating to select the modes circulating in the cavity; the laser emits at the coupling wavelength between the core mode ${\mathrm{LP}}_{(0,1)}$ and the counterpropagating cladding mode ${\mathrm{LP}}_{(0,10)}$ in the Bragg gratings. This work demonstrates the feasibility of high-order mode fiber lasers assisted by long-period gratings.
