Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fiber lasers, in particular to an optical fiber mold stripper and a manufacturing method of the optical fiber mold stripper. Background technique [0002] Fiber lasers are all made of double-clad fibers. The pump light is mainly transmitted in the inner cladding, and is coupled to the core during transmission to be absorbed and form a new laser in the core. In this pump mode, the attenuation of the pump light in the fiber is an exponential mode. When the pump light attenuates to a certain extent, increasing the fiber length not only cannot effectively improve the output power of the fiber laser, but also increases the cost. Therefore, there is an optimal value for the length selection of the active fiber, but the limited length of the active fiber means that part of the pump light cannot be absorbed and becomes useless light. If this part of useless pump light continues to propagate in the optical fiber, it will d...

Problems solved by technology

In this pump mode, the attenuation of the pump light in the fiber is an exponential mode. When the pump light attenuates to a certain extent, increasing the fiber length not only cannot effectively improve the output power of the fiber laser, but also increases the cost.

Therefore, there is an optimal value for the length selection of the active fiber, but the limited length of the active fiber means that part of the pump light cannot be absorbed and becomes useless light

If this part of useless pump light continues to propagate in the optical fiber, it will damage the subsequent devices and become harmful light. Especially for high-power fiber lasers, the power of the remaining pump light is often high, and its destructive effect is also great. , therefore, the fiber laser must take effective measures to leak this part of the remaining pump light
