Zusammenfassung: | A silica-titania glass substrate comprising: (i) a composition comprising 5 weight percent to 10 weight percent TiO2; (ii) a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) at 20° C. in a range from −45 ppb/K to +20 ppb/K; (iii) a crossover temperature (Tzc) in a range from 10° C. to 50° C.; (iv) a slope of CTE at 20° C. in a range from 1.20 ppb/K2 to 1.75 ppb/K2; (v) a refractive index variation of less than 140 ppm; and (vi) 600 ppm OH group concentration or greater. The substrate can have a mass of 1 kg or greater and less than 0.05 gas inclusions per cubic inch via a method comprising (i) forming the substrate from soot particles comprising SiO2 and TiO2, and (ii) subjecting the substrate to an environment having an elevated temperature and an elevated pressure for a period of time until the substrate comprises less than 0.05 gas inclusions per cubic inch. |
