DK Laser Components

When dealing with high-power fiber laser systems, managing unwanted optical power isn’t just a detail—it’s essential. That’s where an MFA & Cladding Power Stripper comes in. At DK Laser, these components are designed to optimize power handling, minimize back-reflection, and improve the reliability of fiber laser assemblies—all while maintaining a compact, durable structure suitable for industrial and research applications. What Exactly Does an MFA & Cladding Power Stripper Do? In a high-power fiber setup, not all light stays neatly within the fiber core. Some portion travels through the cladding, causing heat buildup and potential signal interference. The MFA & Cladding Power Stripper (CPS) works like a “safety filter,” stripping unwanted light from the cladding while preserving the integrity of the core signal. This process helps prevent overheating, reduces background noise, and stabilizes laser output. The Mode Field Adaptor (MFA) portion is equally important—it...

When working with high-power fiber lasers, one key challenge engineers face is dealing with unwanted residual pump light. That’s where a Cladding Power Stripper (CPS) becomes essential. It’s designed to safely remove stray cladding light while keeping the core signal unaffected — ensuring both efficiency and safety in optical systems. Think of it like a pressure valve in a system — without it, things can overheat or fail. In fiber lasers and amplifiers, not all pump energy is absorbed by the doped fiber. The residual light that stays in the outer cladding can become a serious issue, potentially damaging downstream components. A CPS efficiently “strips off” that unwanted light, dissipating the excess heat in a controlled way. DK Laser’s Cladding Power Stripper is engineered for reliability and high performance. It supports cladding power up to 500W, offering exceptional heat-handling capacity and long-term durability. What stands out is its flexibility — available for both PM and non-...
