Swagelok Ultra-Torr based feed-through design for coupling optical fibre bundles into vacuum systems (2008)
Journal Article
optical fibre bundles into vacuum systems. Vacuum, 82, 1341-1343. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vacuum.2008.03.002

We report the design of an inexpensive and flexible fibre-optic bundle high vacuum feed-through that can be constructed from easily available Swagelok Ultra-TorrTM stock parts. The fibre bundle extends through the vacuum envelope and thus does not... Read More about Swagelok Ultra-Torr based feed-through design for coupling optical fibre bundles into vacuum systems.
