摘要： In an optical waveguide feedthrough assembly, and method of making such an assembly, a tubular member defines an axially elongated, annular surface, and the annular surface forms an axially elongated optical feedthrough cavity. An optical fiber or like waveguide is received through the axially-elongated optical feedthrough cavity, and is spaced radially inwardly relative to the annular surface to thereby define an axially-elongated annular cavity between the fiber and annular surface. An epoxy adhesive is introduced in its liquid phase into one end of the annular cavity, and is allowed to fill the annular cavity by capillary action. Upon filling the annular cavity, the epoxy hardens and cures and, in turn, adhesively secures the optical fiber within the tubular member. The annular surface defines a plurality of constrictions in the annular cavity to further secure the solid epoxy plug within the cavity, and prevent the plug from moving in response to axially-directed forces encountered in high pressure and/or high temperature applications.

摘要： A pressure sensor assembly for determining the pressure of a fluid in a harsh environment includes a pressure sensor suspended within a fluid filled housing. The assembly includes a pressure transmitting device which transmits the pressure of the fluid to sensor and maintains the fluid within the housing in a void free condition. The pressure sensor assembly maintains the sensor in a near zero base strain condition and further protects the sensor from shock and vibration. The pressure sensor assembly further includes bumpers that limit the movement of the sensor within the housing.
