    摘要: A method and apparatus for manufacturing fiber-optic devices to precise CWL specifications by plasticizing one attachment end (18) of a mounted fiber-optic device and finely adjusting the fiber tension while monitoring the CWL. In one embodiment, the method of manufacturing an optical fiber component to a precise CWL includes the step of affixing the ends (18, 20) of a fiber component (12) under tension to a substrate (16) to approximate a desired CWL. Subsequently, one end of the fiber (21) is gripped with a movable clamp (36) and the adjacent attachment (20) plasticized while the tension on the fiber is adjusted until the CWL is within a desired range. The attachment (20) is rehardened while the tension on the fiber is maintained by the movable clamp (36).

    摘要: A method is disclosed for sealing a plurality of glass articles, comprising providing a first glass article comprising at least one first sealing surface, wherein the at least one first sealing surface comprises a glass comprising a copper compound, and optionally a silver compound, positioned within a portion of the glass of the first glass article; providing a second glass article comprising at least one second sealing surface; contacting at least a portion of the first sealing surface with at least a portion of the second sealing surface; and irradiating at least a portion of the first sealing surface in a manner that causes at least a portion of the first glass article and at least a portion of the second glass article to be sealed together. A fused device is also disclosed.
