High temperature termination for fiber optic bundle

TLDR
In this paper, a FIBER OPTIC TERMINATION SUITABLE for HIGHER TEMPERATURE APPLICATIONS is designed using a CERAMIC-BOUND BONDING AGENT.
Abstract
A FIBER OPTIC TERMINATION SUITABLE FOR HIGHER TEMPERATURE APPLICATIONS IS FORMED USING A CERAMIC-BASED BONDING AGENT; THE FIBER BUNDLE IS INSERTED THROUGH THE TERMINATION END PLUG AND THE BONDING AGENT APPLIED TO THE TIPS OF THE FIBERS; THE FIBER BUNDLE IS THEN PULLED BACK THROUGH THE PLUG WITHDRAWING THE FIBER TIPS INTO THE PLUG UNTIL THE TIPS ARE FLUSH WITH THE PLUG TERMINATION END; THE TERMINATION IS COMPLETED BY BINDING THE FIBER OPTIC BUNDLE IN THE PORTION EMERGING FROM THE OTHER END OF THE PLUG WITH AN ELASTIC MATERIAL THEREBY ISOLATING THE BRITTLE CERAMICALLY BONDED REGION OF THE FIBER BUNDLE FROM THE FLEXING PORTION OF THE BUNDLE.
