Which risk increases when a fiber laser's cladding modes are inadequately stripped?

💡 Explanation

Inadequate cladding mode stripping causes heat deposition in the delivery fiber, because power is trapped in the fiber cladding leading to thermal distortions affecting the far field beam. Therefore, the beam quality decreases, rather than other failure modes occurring at the pump diodes.
