Ultra low expansion glass

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ultra low expansion glass (ULE) is a registered trademark of Corning Incorporated [1]. ULE has a very low thermal expansion coefficient (~0.10 x 10^-9/K at 5-35°C).

[edit] Applications

• Ultra Low Expansion Substrates
• Length-Standards
• Lightweight Honeycomb Mirror Mounts
• Astronomical Telescopes
• Precision Measurement Technology
• Laser Cavities
