Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Coefficients of linear thermal expansion are reported, in the range 60 K to room temperature, for eight optical materials: Polytran potassium chloride and Polytran calcium fluoride—Harshaw; chemical-vapor-deposited (CVD) zinc sulfide and zinc selenide—Raytheon; germanium (single-crystal and polycrystal); crystalline magnesium fluoride, potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP), and lithium niobate—Harshaw. The last three are anisotropic crystals; thermal expansion was measured both parallel and perpendicular to the c axis.
