Development of hermetic, fiberoptic components
The fabrication of hermetic, fiberoptic components using a variety of novel processing techniques has been demonstrated. These processing techniques are based on standard sealing technologies and include the sealing of optical ``pin`` feedthrough components and the sealing of lengths of optical fibers. Various types of optical fibers including typical, plastic-buffered fibers and metal-coated fibers, have been hermetically sealed into components. Background research has disclosed that the temperatures necessary for seal formation do not degrade the properties of the optical fibers. A series of pyrotechnic test components has been fabricated using one of the newly developed processing techniques, and the firing characteristics of these ``full- up`` components have been determined. 7 refs., 21 figs.
