Cladding Power Stripper

The Cladding Power Stripper (CPS) is a high-power fiber optic component designed to remove unwanted optical power from the inner cladding of double-clad fibers in high-power CW fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers. It efficiently strips residual pump power, amplified spontaneous emission (ASE), escaped core modes, and reflected signal power while maintaining low signal loss and minimal degradation of beam quality (M²). The CPS provides reliable optical power management and protection for downstream components in high-power fiber laser systems.

Cladding Power Stripper

Why Use a Cladding Power Stripper?

1. Remove Residual Pump Power

Strips unused pump light from the inner cladding to prevent unwanted optical power from propagating through the laser system.

2. Suppress ASE and Escaped Modes

Removes ASE and escaped core modes from the cladding, helping maintain cleaner laser output and improve system stability.

3. Protect Downstream Components

Reduces unwanted cladding power before sensitive downstream optical components, helping prevent excessive heating and optical damage.

4. Maintain Signal Power

Designed to strip unwanted cladding light while preserving the fundamental signal with minimal signal loss.

5. Preserve Beam Quality

Minimizes degradation of the output beam quality (M²), supporting stable high-power laser performance.

6. Manage Reflected Optical Power

Can strip reflected signal power coupled back into the inner cladding, helping reduce unwanted backward-propagating optical power within the system.

7. Built for High-Power CW Lasers

Designed for high-power continuous-wave fiber lasers and amplifiers, where effective cladding power management is essential for reliable long-term operation.
