Abstract

A method for hermetically fastening a glass fiber within a tube, wherein the tube can be used with light wave guide components, the tube serving as a connecting part at the component. The method provides for a tube consisting of quartz, quartz glass or glass. The glass fiber is connected to the tube at a predetermined fastening location by means of heating the tube and collapsing the tube to hermetically connect the glass fiber to the tube through melting.
