Summary
An optical heterodyne interferometer has been combined with a helium flow cryostat to measure the linear thermal expansion coefficient of solids at cryogenic temperatures. The absolute accuracy in length measurement is within a few nanometres. Measurement results in the temperature range 6-273 K are presented and compared with some literature data.
