Low Thermal Expansion Coefficient Glass Tube

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the need for low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) glass tubing specifically for fiber optics applications, particularly for packaging Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) components. Fused silica, also known as fused quartz, is identified as a suitable material due to its low CTE properties. Suppliers such as Technical Glass Products and Fiberguide are mentioned as potential sources for this type of glass tubing.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE)
  • Knowledge of fiber optics and DWDM components
  • Familiarity with materials science, specifically glass types
  • Awareness of suppliers in the optical materials industry
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties and applications of fused silica in optical systems
  • Explore the specifications and offerings of Technical Glass Products
  • Investigate the product range of Fiberguide for optical fibers and tubing
  • Learn about the manufacturing processes for low CTE glass materials
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, optical designers, and procurement specialists involved in fiber optics applications and packaging solutions for DWDM components.

Hi All,

I would like to ask if what supplier's fabricate Low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) glass tubing for Fiber Optics application.

or What type of glass do we need in Low CTE?

It will serve as the packaging for DWDM components.

Hoping for your response.

Thank you.
