In my setup precise control of temperature will have severe limitations due to fact that the interferometer must be mobile, so dragging along batteries and temperature controller is not possible. That's why I need ultra low CTE adhesive.
No, not q-bit, but rather the changes in polarization and phase of light are my main concern. I'm building a new type of interferometer, and when the fiber elongates (or shrinks) the light coming out of the fiber has a shift in phase and when it deflects the polarization changes, and both of...
I talked to the engineering department and it was of no use, they started googling for adhesives, which I have already done :-). However, I devised my own test of impact of adhesives on the fiber by measuring changes in polarization in the fiber due to stresses caused by the thermal expansion...
@3DDave I'm working on a physics measurement experiment and I'm trying to bond layers of bare optical fibers together so they don't vibrate when the experimental instrument is being moved. I can use UV cured adhesive because each layer of fibers will have adhesive applied from the top, and can...
This is not overly broad question as only one adhesive can have the lowest coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). There are tables of CTE for various materials, but I was unable to find one for adhesives. Also, I appreciate the link to epoxies, however, epoxies are known to have raltively high...
Which commercially manufactured adhesive, of any kind whatsoever, has the lowest known thermal expansion coefficient, and can be applied in liquid form at room temperature?
