Description

Optical glass

Technical Field

The present invention relates to an optical glass, and more particularly to an optical glass suitable for precision press-molding, and a glass preform and an optical element made therefrom.

Background

Optical glass is a glass material used for manufacturing lenses, prisms, mirrors, windows, and the like in optical instruments or mechanical systems, and in optical design, lenses made of high-refractive high-dispersion optical glass are used in combination with lenses made of low-refractive low-dispersion optical glass to correct chromatic aberration of an optical system, and thus are widely used. CN1229293C discloses an optical glass with a refractive index of 1.75-1.87 and an Abbe number of 21-28, which can realize optical performance of high refraction and high dispersion, but the composition of the optical glass contains 66-78 mass% of PbO, so that the requirement of environmental protection is difficult to meet.

Currently, the mainstream manufacturing method of the aspherical optical element is precision press molding (including direct press molding and secondary press molding), and a lens manufactured by using precision press molding technology is generally not ground and polished, thereby reducing raw material consumption, reducing labor and material costs, and reducing environmental pollution, and the technology can produce the aspherical element in large quantities at low cost. The precision press molding is a process of press-molding a glass preform with a high precision mold having a predetermined product shape under a certain temperature and pressure to obtain a glass product having a final product shape and an optical function. Various optical glass products such as spherical lenses, aspherical lenses, prisms, diffraction gratings, etc. can be manufactured by precision press-molding techniques.

In order to transfer a high-precision mold surface to a glass product in precision press molding, it is necessary to press-mold a glass preform at a high temperature (usually 20 to 60 ℃ or higher) and, at this time, the mold surface is easily oxidized and eroded even under a protective gas at a high temperature and pressure. Since the press temperature must be lowered in order to extend the life of the mold and suppress damage to the mold due to a high-temperature environment, the transition temperature T of the glass material used for press molding is set to be lower than the press temperature T_gIt needs to be as low as possible. CN101811825A discloses an optical glass having a refractive index of 1.825 to 1.870 and an Abbe number of 22 to 27, which contains 18 to 36 mass% of SiO in the composition although it does not contain a lead compound₂Poor chemical stability and transition temperature T_g530-585 ℃, is not beneficial to prolonging the service life of the die, and is easy to fog in the precision die pressing process, thereby bringing difficulty to production and manufacturing. With the progress of science and technology, the demand of photoelectric information products is increasing, and the performance of optical glass is also required.

P₂O₅Is a main component for forming glass, has an effect of lowering the melting temperature of a glass raw material, and contains 16% or more of P₂O₅And the stability and the visible light transmittance of the glass can be improved. Thus, P in the present invention₂O₅The content of (b) is 16% or more, preferably 20% or more, more preferably 22% or more. On the other hand, if P₂O₅In excess of 35%, it is difficult to obtain a desired high refractive index of the glass, and the devitrification tendency of the glass increases. Thus, P in the present invention₂O₅The content of (b) is 35% or less, preferably 30% or less, more preferably 27% or less.

Nb₂O₅Is a high-refraction high-dispersion component, can improve the refractive index and devitrification resistance of the glass, and reduceThe coefficient of thermal expansion of the glass is controlled by the inclusion of more than 30% Nb₂O₅To obtain the above effects, Nb is preferable₂O₅The lower limit of (B) is 33%, and the more preferable lower limit is 35%. If Nb₂O₅More than 45%, the thermal and chemical stability of the glass is lowered and the light transmittance is lowered, so that Nb in the present invention is₂O₅The upper limit of the content of (B) is 45%, preferably 42%, more preferably 40%.

WO₃Can improve the refractive index and mechanical strength of the glass and reduce the transition temperature of the glass, and the invention contains more than 2 percent of WO₃To obtain the above effects, WO is preferred₃The lower limit of the content of (B) is 4%, and WO is more preferable₃The lower limit of the content of (B) is 7%. If WO₃When the content of (B) exceeds 18%, the glass is deteriorated in thermal stability and devitrification resistance. Thus, WO₃The upper limit of the content of (B) is 18%, preferably 15%, more preferably 12%.

Bi₂O₃Can raise the refractive index of glass and lower the softening temperature of glass, and in the present invention, Bi is contained in an amount of 3% or more₂O₃To obtain the above effects, Bi is preferred₂O₃Is 6% or more, and Bi is more preferable₂O₃The content of (B) is 7% or more. If Bi₂O₃The content of (b) exceeds 15%, the light transmittance of the glass is lowered, the abrasion degree and chemical stability are deteriorated, and the density is remarkably increased. Thus, Bi₂O₃The upper limit of the content of (B) is 15%, preferably 13%, more preferably 12%.

In some embodiments of the invention, Bi is controlled₂O₃And Nb₂O₅Ratio of Bi₂O₃/Nb₂O₅Above 0.1, the transition temperature of the glass can be reduced while the high-refractivity and high-dispersion performance of the glass is ensured; if Bi₂O₃/Nb₂O₅When the glass density exceeds 0.4, the glass density increases and the weight reduction of the glass cannot be achieved. Therefore, Bi is preferred₂O₃/Nb₂O₅0.1 to 0.4, and Bi is more preferable₂O₃/Nb₂O₅0.15 to 0.35, and Bi is more preferable₂O₃/Nb₂O₅0.18 to 0.3.

In some embodiments of the invention, P is prepared by reacting P with a compound of formula (I)₂O₅/(Bi₂O₃+Nb₂O₅) Within the range of 0.35-1.0, the chemical stability, especially the acid-resistant action stability of the glass can be improved, and a proper thermal expansion coefficient is obtained, preferably P₂O₅/(Bi₂O₃+Nb₂O₅) 0.4 to 0.7, more preferably P₂O₅/

TiO₂Has the functions of improving the refractive index and dispersion of the glass, can participate in the formation of glass networks, and can stabilize the glass and reduce the viscosity of the glass by proper content. But TiO 2₂When the content exceeds 10%, the glass tends to be devitrified, the glass transition temperature rises, and the glass tends to be colored during press molding. Thus, TiO in the present invention₂The content of (A) is 10% or less, preferably TiO₂The content of (b) is more than 0 and 8% or less, more preferably 0.5 to 4%, and still more preferably 0.5 to 2%.

ZnO in the invention has the functions of improving the stability and devitrification resistance of glass, reducing the coloring of the glass and improving the bubble degree of the glass. When the content of ZnO exceeds 9%, the degree of abrasion of the glass is deteriorated, and the difficulty of molding is increased. Therefore, the content of ZnO in the present invention is 9% or less, preferably 0.5 to 6%, more preferably 1 to 5%.

It has been found through extensive experimental studies by the inventors that, in some embodiments, ZnO and Bi₂O₃The content ratio of (A) can change the compactness of the glass skeleton. Further, by using 3 XZnO/Bi₂O₃In the range of 0.1 to 3.0, the glass can obtain a desired thermal expansion coefficient while having an appropriate degree of abrasion, and the glass is suitable for polishing and can be suitably used in combination with other glass, preferably 3 XZnO/Bi₂O₃0.1 to 3.0, more preferably 3 XZnO/Bi₂O₃0.2 to 2.0, and more preferably 3 XZnO/Bi₂O₃0.4 to 1.5, and more preferably 3 XZnO/Bi₂O₃0.45 to 1.0.

Therefore, 2 XZnO/WO is preferred₃0.05 to 5.0, more preferably 2 XZnO/WO₃0.15 to 2.0, and more preferably 2 XZnO/WO₃0.2 to 1.0, and more preferably 2 XZnO/WO₃0.25 to 0.8.

Li₂O is an alkali metal oxide and lowers the glass transition temperature, but when it is contained in a high content, it is disadvantageous in acid resistance and thermal expansion coefficient of the glass, and therefore, Li in the present invention₂The content of O is 8% or less, preferably 0.5 to 6%, more preferably 1 to 5%.

In some embodiments of the invention, the composition is prepared by contacting WO₃、TiO₂、Li₂Total content of O WO₃+TiO₂+Li₂O and Bi₂O₃Ratio of contents of (WO)₃+TiO₂+Li₂O)/Bi₂O₃Within the range of 0.5-5.0, the chemical stability of the glass can be improved while the light transmittance of the glass can be effectively prevented from being reduced. Therefore, preferred is (WO)₃+TiO₂+Li₂O)/Bi₂O₃0.5 to 5.0, more preferably (WO)₃+TiO₂+Li₂O)/Bi₂O₃0.8 to 3.0. Further, by reacting (WO)₃+TiO₂+Li₂O)/Bi₂O₃Within the range of 1.0-2.5, the pressing crystallization performance of the glass can be improved, and the crystallization risk of the glass in the pressing process can be reduced.
