OptionletStripper in today's markets

Lapin
Hi,

I am playing with the cap/floor vol surfaces calibration.
So far so good, but I encounter a limitation that is understandable.
I was wondering if there was a trick I have missed.

In today's markets, the forwards are quite low and generally option vols quote from strikes 1.5% (maybe 1%).
When I use the OptionletStripper2 to integrate the ATM vol quotes, it fails since the strike is out of the range [above 1.50%...]

Is there a way to overpass this issue?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
a quick workaround would be to add strikes to your input surface and
feed them with manually extrapolated quotes.
But in which currency does the problem really occur ? EUR cap quotes
for example are available from 0% , 0.125% , ... , 10% (I think ?).
