In the optical glass of the present application, other components may be added as needed as long as the properties of the glass of the present application are not impaired. However, the GeO 2 component is preferably substantially not contained because it improves the dispersion of the glass.
In addition, since various transition metal components other than Ti, zr, nb, W, la, gd, Y, yb, lu, for example, hf, n, cr, mn, fe, co, ni, cu, ag, mo, ce, nd, etc. have properties such that if they are contained individually or in combination, even a small amount of the transition metal components will color the glass and absorb light of a specific wavelength in the visible light region, they are preferably not substantially contained in the optical glass, particularly in which wavelengths in the visible light region are used.
In addition, lead compounds such As PbO, arsenic compounds such As 2O3, and Th, cd, tl, os, be, se have been recently used As harmful chemicals and have been prevented from being used, and environmental measures are required not only for the glass manufacturing process but also for the processing process and the post-production treatment. Therefore, in the case of focusing on environmental influences, these components are preferably not substantially contained except for unavoidable mixing. Thus, the optical glass contains substantially no environmental pollution. Therefore, the optical glass can be manufactured, processed, and discarded without taking special measures against the environment.
[ Method of production ]
The optical glass of the present invention can be produced, for example, as follows. That is, the above raw materials are uniformly mixed so that the respective components fall within a predetermined content range, the prepared mixture is put into a platinum crucible, a quartz crucible or an alumina crucible to be coarsely melted, and then put into a gold crucible, a platinum alloy crucible or an iridium crucible to be melted for 1 to 5 hours at a temperature range of 900 to 1400 ℃, and after the steps of homogenizing by stirring and defoaming, the temperature is lowered to 1300 ℃ or less, and then the final-stage stirring is performed to remove streaks, and molding is performed by using a molding die. Here, as a method for obtaining glass molded by using a molding die, there is a method in which a molten glass is flowed into one end of the molding die and the molded glass is pulled out from the other end of the molding die, or a method in which the molten glass is cast into a die and then gradually cooled.
Physical Properties
The optical glass of the present invention preferably has a high refractive index and high dispersion.
In particular, the lower limit of the refractive index (n d) of the optical glass of the present invention is preferably 1.90, more preferably 1.95, and further preferably 1.98. The upper limit of the refractive index is preferably 2.20, more preferably 2.15, and further preferably 2.10. The lower limit of the Abbe number (v d) of the optical glass of the present invention is preferably 15.0, more preferably 18.0, further preferably 20.0, and the upper limit thereof is preferably 30.0, more preferably 28.0, further preferably 27.0.
By having such a high refractive index, a large light refractive index can be obtained even when the optical element is thinned. In addition, by having such high dispersion, for example, when combined with an optical element having low dispersion (high abbe number), high imaging characteristics and the like can be achieved.
Therefore, the optical glass of the present invention is useful for optical design, and particularly, can realize miniaturization of an optical system while seeking high imaging characteristics and the like, and can expand the degree of freedom of optical design.
The optical glass of the present invention preferably has high visible light transmittance, particularly high transmittance of light on the short wavelength side among visible light, and thus is less colored.
In particular, the optical glass of the present invention preferably has an upper limit of a wavelength (λ 70) at which the spectral transmittance is 70% in a sample having a thickness of 10mm, as represented by the transmittance of the glass, of 500nm, more preferably 490nm, and still more preferably 480nm.
In the optical glass of the present invention, the upper limit of the shortest wavelength (. Lamda. 5) showing a spectral transmittance of 5% in a sample having a thickness of 10mm is preferably 400nm, more preferably 390nm.
Thus, the absorption edge of the glass is positioned in the vicinity of the ultraviolet region, and the transparency of the glass to visible light can be improved, so that the optical glass can be preferably used for an optical element such as a lens that transmits light.
The optical glass of the present invention preferably has a high partial dispersion ratio (θg, F). More specifically, the lower limit of the partial dispersion ratio (θg, F) of the optical glass of the invention is preferably 0.570, more preferably 0.580, further preferably 0.595, further preferably 0.605, further preferably 0.612.
In addition, the relationship between the partial dispersion ratio (θg, F) and the abbe number (v d) of the optical glass of the present invention preferably satisfies the relationship (-0.00162 v d+0.645)≤(θg,F)≤(-0.00162vd +0.680). Thus, since an optical glass having a small partial dispersion ratio (θg, F) can be obtained, making the optical glass conducive to reducing chromatic aberration of an optical element or the like can be achieved.
Therefore, the lower limit of the partial dispersion ratio (θg, F) of the optical glass of the invention is preferably (-0.00162 v d +0.645), more preferably (-0.00162 v d +0.650).
On the other hand, the upper limit of the partial dispersion ratio (θg, F) of the optical glass of the invention is preferably (-0.00162 v d +0.675), more preferably (-0.00162 v d +0.670).
In rectangular coordinates having a vertical axis of the partial dispersion ratio and a horizontal axis of the abbe number, the relationship between the partial dispersion ratio (θg, F) and the abbe number (v d) is represented by a straight line parallel to the normal line. The normal line represents a linear relationship observed between the partial dispersion ratio (θg, F) and the abbe number (v d) of the conventionally known glass, and is represented by a straight line obtained by connecting two points of the partial dispersion ratio and the abbe number obtained by plotting NSL7 and PBM2 on a rectangular coordinate having the vertical axis and the abbe number (v d) as the horizontal axis (see fig. 1). Further, the relationship between the partial dispersion ratio and the abbe number of the conventionally known glass is substantially the same as that of the normal line.
Here, NSL7 and PBM2 are optical glasses manufactured by small corporation, the abbe number (v d) of PBM2 is 36.3, the partial dispersion ratio (θg, F) is 0.5828, the abbe number (v d) of NSL7 is 60.5, and the partial dispersion ratio (θg, F) is 0.5436.
Preform and optical element
The glass molded body can be produced from the optical glass produced by a polishing method, a press molding method such as reheat press molding or precision press molding, or the like. That is, the glass molded body may be produced by mechanically working such as grinding and polishing an optical glass, or by producing a glass molded body by performing hot press molding on a preform made of an optical glass and then polishing, or by producing a glass molded body by performing precision press molding on a preform produced by polishing or a preform molded by known float molding or the like. It should be noted that the method of producing the glass molded body is not limited to the above method.
As described above, the glass molded body formed of the optical glass of the present invention is useful for various optical elements and optical designs, and is particularly preferably used for optical elements such as lenses and prisms. Since the glass can be formed into a glass molded body having a large diameter by improving the stability of the glass, the imaging characteristics and the projection characteristics can be realized with high definition and high precision when an optical device such as a camera or a projector is used while the optical element is enlarged.
Examples
The glass compositions of examples (No. 1 to No. 52) of the present invention are shown in tables 1 to 10, respectively, with respect to the refractive index (n d), abbe number (v d), transmittance (. Lamda. 5、λ70) and partial dispersion ratio (. Theta.g, F) of these glasses. It should be noted that the following examples are for illustrative purposes only, and the present invention is not limited to these examples.
In the glass of the examples, as raw materials of each component, high-purity raw materials used for general optical glass such as oxide, hydroxide, carbonate, nitrate, fluoride, hydroxide, metaphosphoric acid compound and the like are selected, weighed and uniformly mixed, and then put into a platinum crucible, and the glass raw materials are melted for 2.5 hours in an electric furnace at a temperature range of 1280 to 1340 ℃, and when the glass raw materials are melted, the melted glass raw materials are defoamed by stirring, cooled to 1180 to 1250 ℃, stirred again to be uniform, and then cast into a mold, and slowly cooled to obtain the glass.
The refractive index (n d) and Abbe number (v d) of the glass of the example are expressed as measured values with respect to the d-line (587.56 nm) of a helium lamp. The Abbe number (v d) was calculated from the numerical expression of Abbe number (v d)=[(nd-1)/(nF-nC) using the values of the refractive index of d-line, the refractive index (n F) of F-line (486.13 nm) and the refractive index (n C) of C-line (656.27 nm).
The refractive index n C in the C line (wavelength 656.27 nm), the refractive index n F in the F line (wavelength 486.13 nm), and the refractive index n g in the g line (wavelength 435.835 nm) were measured, and the partial dispersion ratio was calculated from the equation of (θg, F) = (n g-nF)/(nF-nC).
The transmittance of the glass of the examples was measured according to JOGIS02-2003, a Japanese optical nitroprusside Industrial Association standard. In the present invention, the presence or absence of glass coloration and the degree of coloration are determined by measuring the transmittance of glass. Specifically, according to JISZ8722, spectral transmittance of 200 to 800nm was measured for an opposite parallel polished article having a thickness of 10±0.1mm, and λ 5 (wavelength at 5% transmittance) and λ 70 (wavelength at 70% transmittance) were obtained.
The glass used in the measurement was treated in a slow cooling furnace at a slow cooling rate of-25 ℃.

As shown in the table, the optical glasses of the examples of the present invention each have a refractive index (n d) of 1.90 or more, and the refractive index (n d) of 2.20 or less, more specifically, 2.10 or less, within the desired range.
The optical glasses of the examples of the present invention have an abbe number (v d) of 30.0 or less, more specifically 28.0 or less, and an abbe number (v d) of 15.0 or more, more specifically 20.0 or more, both of which fall within a desired range.
In addition, λ 70 (wavelength at 70% transmittance) of the optical glass of the example of the present invention is 500nm or less, more specifically 490nm or less. In addition, λ 5 (wavelength at 5% transmittance) of the optical glass of the example of the present invention is 400nm or less, more specifically 390nm or less.
The optical glass of the embodiment of the present invention has a partial dispersion ratio (θg, F) of (-0.00162 v d +0.645) or more, more specifically (-0.00162 v d +0.650) or more. In contrast, the optical glass according to the embodiment of the present invention has a partial dispersion ratio of (-0.00162 v d +0.680) or less, more specifically (-0.00162 v d +0.670) or less. From this, it is found that these partial dispersion ratios (θg, F) fall within the desired range.
Therefore, it is clear that the optical glass of the embodiment of the present invention is easy to manufacture and less colored while the refractive index and abbe number thereof are within the desired ranges.
Further, using the optical glass obtained in the examples of the present invention, after the hot press molding was performed again, grinding and polishing were performed, and processing into lens and prism shapes was performed. Further, using the optical glass according to the embodiment of the present invention, a preform for precision press molding was formed, and precision press molding was performed on the preform for precision press molding. In either case, the glass after heat softening does not cause problems such as occurrence of emulsion whitening and devitrification, and can be stably processed into various lens and prism shapes.
While the invention has been described in detail and with reference to the embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing is illustrative only and that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
