Measuring small coefficients of thermal expansion with Fabry-Perot resonators — •Nina Meyer, Maryam Ghazi Zahedi, Tobias Ohlendorf, Uwe Sterr, and Thomas Legero — Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Bundesallee 100, 38116 Braunschweig, Germany

Materials with small coefficients of thermal expansions (CTEs) are needed for industrial and scientific applications as in extreme-ultraviolet lithography, in telescopes or ultra-stable resonators [1]. Such materials, like Zerodur and Corning ULE glass, show a very small CTE of about 10−8 K−1, with zero crossing near room temperature. CTE measurements based on two-beam Michelson interferometers for measuring length have reached 10−9 K−1 uncertainties [2].
In this poster, we present a multiple-beam approach based on a Fabry-Perot resonator, consisting of a test-material spacer and two optically contacted reflecting endcaps in a temperature-controlled vacuum chamber. We discuss a refined uncertainty budget taking the temperature homogeneity of the spacer and the impact of the CTE mismatch between the end caps and the spacer into account [3]. This allows us to determine the CTE with uncertainties in the range of 10−9 K−1.
