All-silica optical fiber bonding

All-silica optical fiber bonding
All-silica optical fiber bonding
In this work, we demonstrate a spot-welding method for fabrication of all-silica fiber components. A CO2 laser was used to locally sinter sub-micron silica powders, enabling rigid bonding of optical fiber to glass substrates. The bonding was achieved without inducing any fiber transmission losses. The components showed no sign of deterioration or structural change when heated up to 1100 °C. These single material assemblies are therefore well suited for use in harsh environments where high stability and robustness is required.

Abstract

In this work, we demonstrate a spot-welding method for fabrication of all-silica fiber components. A CO2 laser was used to locally sinter sub-micron silica powders, enabling rigid bonding of optical fiber to glass substrates. The bonding was achieved without inducing any fiber transmission losses. The components showed no sign of deterioration or structural change when heated up to 1100 °C. These single material assemblies are therefore well suited for use in harsh environments where high stability and robustness is required.
