Abstract
The present disclosure pertains to a method for making a hermetically sealed package which includes a housing, a lid and a feedthrough for at least one stripped fiber. The method includes the following steps: 1) placing at least one optical fiber and at least one solder preform between the sealing surface of the lid and the sealing surface of the housing; and 2) sealing the assembly by applying pressure and heat so as to press the fiber (or fibers) into the solder.
