Zusammenfassung:A method comprises applying a frit material to a plurality of fibers in a fiber bundle. The frit material has a first melting temperature lower than a second melting temperature of the plurality of fibers in the fiber bundle. The method also comprises heating the frit material at a temperature between the first melting temperature and the second melting temperature to bind the frit material to the plurality of fibers without melting the plurality of fibers in the fiber bundle and to create a seal between the plurality of fibers.
