Technical Datasheet Note
The master catalog specifies D1–D7 package families depending on power dissipation and fiber diameter. Cooling method (conduction or water cooling) should be selected according to stripped cladding power.
Configuration and ordering notes

Fiber diameter class, expected cladding-light load and package conditions are reviewed together. Stripping-power ratings apply to the listed configurations.

Selection Guidance: Compare combiner architectures and fiber matching in our Pump Combiner Selection Guide ↗ or N×1 vs (6+1)×1 Architecture Guide ↗.

Key Applications

High-power fiber lasers; High-power fiber amplifiers; ASE suppression; Cladding mode stripping before output termination.
