High temperature ultrahigh vacuum infrared window seal

Abstract
An alkali halide-to-metal high vacuum window sealing method is described which is usable to 275 °C with a combined leak plus outgas rate of <3×10−10 atm-cm3/s. This seal is usable for static laser photolysis of low pressure, reactive gaseous samples, since the only materials to come into sample contact are stainless steel, lead, and the alkali halide window. This method has also been successfully used to seal stainless steel to stainless steel.
