An optical fiber-type optical filter includes: two fiber regions, namely, the first and second PBGF regions, each of which includes: a core section extending in a waveguide direction of incident light; and a clad section extending in the waveguide direction and surrounding the core section, wherein the clad section includes a plurality of high rods which have a refractive index higher than that of a base material of the clad section, extend in the waveguide direction, and are arranged periodically in a cross section perpendicular to the waveguide direction, and a light loss region between mutually-facing end surfaces of the first and second fiber regions, for coupling a radiation mode with a waveguide mode in which light intensity is observed in the high refractive-index sections in the clad section.
