ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to the joining of a first glass member, such as an optical fiber, to a second member by means of solderable splices and terminations which additionally can form hermetic seals. To form the splice, termination or seal, the peripheral surface of the glass member is coated in the area of the intended joint between members with a thin adhering metallic layer. The coated glass member is properly positioned adjacent the second member and solder is flowed around the joint between the members. Where the second member is also formed of glass, a thin adhering metallic coating layer is similarly formed on the peripheral surface thereof in the area of the intended joint prior to solder being applied.
