Teflon feedthrough for coupling optical fibers into ultrahigh vacuum systems

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present an inexpensive, reusable method of introducing optical fibers into ultrahigh vacuum systems. A Teflon ferrule with a center-drilled hole slightly larger than the fiber diameter replaces the metal ferrules of a standard Swagelok connector. The Swagelok connector when tightened compresses the Teflon to form a vacuum seal for pressures of ≤2 × 10-10 Torr.
