Hermetic Fiber-Optic Connectors

Carlton Thermal Systems Ltd. are pleased to introduce Solid Sealing Technology's Inc. new line of hermetic fiber-optic adapters and multi-channel connectors.

We offer a high temperature brazed construction to the zirconia ferrule and titanium components. A stainless-steel weld adapter can be included so that these assemblies can be transitioned to stainless steel flanges.

All hermetic optical feedthroughs utilize a precision zirconia ferrule terminated to a 62.5/125 multimode graded index optical fiber with PC polish (other multimode core sizes available). The fiber is epoxied into the ferrule and specifically cured to achieve the highest temperature rating while maintaining the highest hermeticity level. Each adapter is leak tested to 1 x 10-10 atm cc/sec He with a Helium mass spectrometer.

All assemblies are also optically tested prior to leaving the factory to ensure optical performance.
