METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENCAPSULATING OPTICAL COMPONENTS

摘要

The disclosure is a method and system for encapsulating components of a fiber laser system. Optical components are placed in a housing, such as a fiber laser block (FB). The housing is filled with a polymerizing encapsulant optionally including a filler. The housing is placed in a vacuum chamber to cause a degassing of interstices created during a filling step. A vacuum is created at a rating level determined by the viscosity of the encapsulant system and the vacuum is released at a rapid rate sufficient to drive the encapsulant into the set of interstices filling the same.
