Presented and characterized are an optimized cladding mode stripper design that increases the cladding light loss with a minimal device length and manufacturing time.
In this paper, general ball shaped end-caps are studied and illustrated. Different ball shaped end-caps were tested and measured for a variety of applications.
By offsetting the light structure, precise localized zone heating and annealing of specific areas at a fiber’s surface can be achieved as well.
