Abstract
A method to reduce undesirable outgassing includes bonding at least two optical components with a bonding material and encapsulating the bonding material with a capping material. The capping material inhibits the outgassing of species that would otherwise be emitted from the bonding material to the surrounding. In one example, the bonding material is silicone and the capping material is epoxy.
