Abstract :
The author discuss the the technology, performance and applications of hermetic fiber optic connectors. The main challenges of providing hermetic fiber optic connectors are: (1) manufacture a hermetic fiber optic contact : hermetically seal the fiber into the ferrule without damaging it and (2) hermetically assemble the fiber optic contacts into an insert and the connector shell.
