We proposed and also preparing for a POP (Proof-of-Principle) demonstration of a completely non-destructive H stripping method by using only lasers at J-PARC. To reduce the laser power, which is one of the critical issues in this case, we have studied an extensive manipulations of the H beam as well advanced uses of the lasers in this research. These includes utilizing a dispersion derivative of the H beam to cope with its large momentum spread, while multi-pass laser system to utilize multiple interactions of the H beam with lasers. We have estimated that the laser power can be reduced to more than one order of magnitude by applying a combination of these two methods. The detail simulation and experimental results of the H beam manipulations as well as development status of the multi-pass laser system are presented in this paper.
