Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the preformed member of purposes, optical element or this type of optical element of production, this type of glass of a kind of opticglass, this type of glass and optics or the optical module that comprises this type of optical element.
Background technology
The conventional opticglass of the optical position that this paper advocates (extremely hard flint and the hard flint position of lanthanum) contains PbO usually, in order to realize required optical property, that is, and preferred index n
dBe 1.82≤n
d≤ 2.00, and/or Abbe number ν
dBe 18≤ν
d≤ 28, but especially for realizing high refractive index.Therefore, these glass are not very stable aspect chemical.
In addition, As
2O
3Be commonly used for finings.Due in recent years with glass ingredient PbO and As
2O
3Be considered as environment harmful, so the most manufacturers of opticinstrument and product to tend to have a preference for use leaded and do not contain the glass of arsenic.In order to use in the high price range product, the glass with chemical stability of increase also becomes more and more important always.
The known hard flint with high refractive index and low Abbe number or the lead-free glass of the hard flint position of lanthanum contain a large amount of TiO usually in silicate substrate
2, this has caused extreme crystallization unstable, and the glass that can not process in the molded step of secondary that therefore causes being everlasting.And contain TiO
2Glass also be difficult to mechanically process.
The conventional machining of the optical module that the glass that alternative use up to now has piece or ingot forms carries out, production method is more and more important at present, wherein can when finishing, glass melting directly obtain direct pressing spare, that is the optical module of the precision compacting that, approaches as far as possible with final profile and/or be used for the preformed member (so-called " accurate material piece ") of compacting again." accurate material piece " typically refers to the glass part of the complete fire polishing of preferred warp, semi-free or free forming, and it can obtain via various production methods.
For this reason, the needs to " short " glass (that is, the glass of viscosity with temperature acute variation) have been reported more and more in the situation of fusing and molding process technology.This method has the processing advantage, namely may reduce molded number of times in the precision modulding process near final geometrical shape, and therefore reduces the closed number of times of mould.In this way, increase output on the one hand, and save on the other hand moulding stock, this has very positive effect to whole production cost.In addition, due to comparatively fast solidifying of obtaining whereby, therefore also may process to have with corresponding longer glassy phase ratio and be easier to crystalline glass, and will avoid or at least obviously minimizing may cause the using pre-nucleating (pre-nucleation) of problem in the molded step of secondary after a while.
For the same reason, the glass that may the temperature-viscograph in absolute term comprises the low temperature in molded scope.By lower process temperature, this also helps increases die life, and by not containing faster the cooling of stress, also helps low using pre-nucleating rate.This also provides wider possible more economical moulding stock, and this is especially remarkable near the precision modulding of final geometrical shape.
In view of the present invention, with the prior art of considering be: JP 92027180 B (Hoya Corp.), US 2004-053768A (Alcatel), US 2005-0202952 (Hoya Corp.) and WO 03/062162 (Ohara).
May produce thus the glass that has similar optical position or have suitable chemical composition, but it is carrying out demonstrating when directly comparing significant shortcoming with glass according to the present invention:
JP 92027180 B disclose optics tellurous acid phosphate glass, and it may have similar optical position.Because the tellurium that network forms and the certainty of lead oxides, described glass extends to equally glass in batches except it and also shows the temperature-viscograph that is not suitable for precision modulding (glass length) the high toxicity of starting materials.
US 2004-053768 A discloses the glass ingredient of Raman active fiber core glass.These glass ingredients are forced based on high silicate basis (30-90Mol%), and only contain in a preferred embodiment 4 compositions.Except only very little obtainable specific refractory power, those glass are showed very high absolute viscosity and the length that can not process via precision modulding.In addition, have high silicate content and seldom the glass of other composition tend to crystallization, this is difficult to dispose in the secondary precision modulding process of optical module/parts (lens, prism and other).
US 2005-0202952 discloses a kind of glass system for precision modulding according to glass of the present invention, and with glassy phase ratio of the present invention, it shows the shortcoming of higher crystallization tendency.Reason is based on the pressure silicate content up to 4Mol%.In principle, SiO

2Compare) cause the solubility problem in phosphate matrix, the effect (known from different glass systems) that makes its network form becomes on the contrary, and especially in secondary precision modulding process, but promote crystallization in same melt during elementary precision modulding.In addition, produced astigmatism, gluey precursor before crystallization, described precursor reduces the transmission of glass significantly at least.In addition, SiO
2Reduce attainable specific refractory power and dispersion.
WO 03/062162 discloses niobium barium phosphate glass.According to the example of mentioning, utilize SiO at least
2And/or B
2O
3Bright these stabilization that makes of opposing devitrification.For these glass, must consider that glassy phase following and according to the present invention compares the shortcoming that has: if SiO
2For the phosphate glass system, will cause so the shortcoming about crystallization, optical position and transmission of having discussed in US 2005-0202952.Because the cause of the crucible residence time forbids applying B in the high quality optical phosphate glass
2O
3: in conjunction with refractory materials being had rodent glass very much, because the cause of its phosphate matrix is applying B
2O
3(especially with Li
2The O combination) in situation, this effect obviously increases especially, and greatly shortens the crucible residence time.The extra glue of crucible material in melt shifts the transmission that acutely is reduced on whole wavelength region.If the crucible material is platinum, platinum alloy or associated alloys, the dissolving content of metal ion will further reduce transmission by specific absorption so.The spectral range of being everlasting locate to observe this effect for responsive " blue limit " always.In addition, compulsory B
2O
3Content makes the attainable optical position of glass be limited to low-refraction and dispersion.For the technical glass of especially advocating according to this prior art, it is unimportant that specific refractory power and transmission reduce effect, and this and this type of effect forms sharp contrast for the importance that opticglass according to the present invention has.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide the described problem of avoiding above-mentioned prior art and the opticglass that promotes required optical characteristics.These glass should preferably can be processed by accurate drawing method, and have low transition temperature.In addition, it should easily melt and process, and has sufficient crystalline stability for the molded step of secondary and/or the manufacturing in the factory of operation continuously.And need a kind of range of viscosities 10
7.6To 10
13The short as far as possible glass of dPas.
Realize above purpose by the embodiments of the invention described in claims.
In particular, provide a kind of opticglass, it comprises following composition (with the % by weight of oxide compound calculating):
Glass according to the present invention has 1.82≤n

5Be dissolved in matrix no longer fully under higher than the ratio of 50 % by weight in and may cause crystallization of melt, but surprisingly up to the Nb of 50 % by weight
2O
5With the GeO up to 7 % by weight
2And/or up to the Bi of 13 % by weight
2O
3Even mixture under this high level still well the dissolving.
As be used for realizing or other composition of optical position is wanted in meticulous adjusting, glass according to the present invention contains high refractive index but is not composition BaO and the WO of network stabilization
3These compositions help to regulate the viscosity temperature curve (short-nature glass) that is applicable to precision modulding in itself via its network amendment feature.
The ratio of the alkaline earth metal oxide BaO that wherein uses is at least 7 % by weight, preferably is at least 9 % by weight, and at most＜17 % by weight, preferably mostly is most 16 % by weight, and more preferably mostly is most 15 % by weight.In the situation that BaO content is less than 7 % by weight, no matter how many niobium, bismuth and germanium oxide contents be, all can not realize high refractive index.Especially can not realize needing to be used for " steepness " of precision modulding glass.Be that in 17 % by weight or more situation, the unstable networks effect that occurs will very strong at BaO content on the other hand, make in melt and the firsts and seconds precision modulding in unacceptably high crystallization will occur and be inclined to.
Adopt Tungsten oxide 99.999 (WO in glass according to the present invention
3), its ratio is at least 2 % by weight, preferably is at least 4 % by weight, and mostly is 14 % by weight most, preferably mostly is most 12 % by weight.With the barium oxide equivalence, except regulating desired optical position (high refractive index of high dispersion place), the ratio in this scope is suitable for regulating the steepness that needs to be used for precision modulding exclusively.
The TiO of other high refractive index composition of conduct that marginally adds
2And ZrO
2Susceptible of proof is conducive to according to glass of the present invention.And then the ratio of every kind of compound is limited to maximum 7 % by weight, and preferred maximum 5 % by weight.But preferably, according to most embodiment of the present invention, composition TiO
2And ZrO
2The summation of content be limited to maximum 7 % by weight.It is also required limiting these compositions, in order to do not increase the crystallization tendency of glass and do not increase hardness (for example, with Knoop hardness number or abrasiveness as feature).Increase on this hardness will prove and be unfavorable for very much cold-trimming process (for example, grinding and polishing).Because the hardness that increases, treatment time and/or tool wear will increase, and therefore the cost of processing and assembly will rise.Therefore, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, glass does not contain TiO
2And/or ZrO
2, preferably do not contain this two kinds of compositions.
For the purpose that reduces according to the crystallization susceptibility of glass of the present invention, can add content is maximum 6 % by weight, a small amount of ZnO of preferred maximum 4 % by weight, and this prevents or hinders the formation of crystalline structure.Yet the ZnO level greater than 6 % by weight has reduced specific refractory power, makes and can not realize desired optical position.
Can be with alkalimetal oxide Li
2O, Na
2O, K
2O and Cs
2O adds glass according to the present invention to and adjusts (for example in order to make glass be suitable for ion-exchange) to be used for special special use, adjusts to be used for temperature-viscosity curve or the meticulous of optical position.The overall proportion of alkalimetal oxide is preferably lower than 10 % by weight, more preferably maximum 8 % by weight.10 % by weight or more level cause than the unacceptable violent impact on the direction of low-refraction, higher thermal expansion and/or " than slow-setting glass ", and the crystallization that causes due to the mobility of ions that increases.
Contain Li according to some embodiment of glass of the present invention
2O, maximum 4 % by weight of its ratio, preferred maximum 2 % by weight, and maximum 1 % by weight most preferably.Yet, do not contain Li according to some embodiment of glass of the present invention
2O。Lithium Oxide 98min content more than 4 % by weight is general and non-required, and causes melt that the aggressiveness of refractory materials is improved.This causes the refractory materials strong erosion to enter glass, and shortens equipment life.If platinum is as high temperature material, this causes the transmission loss of blue color spectrum edge, and when using stupalith, this cause in melt by entering of heterojunction nucleus and the firsts and seconds molding process in the crystallization susceptibility improve.
For the meticulous adjusting of viscosity temperature curve, can have content according to glass of the present invention and mostly be 6 % by weight most, preferably mostly be most each in the bivalent metal oxide (that is, MgO, CaO, SrO and/or ZnO) of the MO of group of 4 % by weight.The preferred amount of these oxide compounds is 8 % by weight altogether." being forced to the type mixture " of using this method to obtain makes and can reduce by agonistic behavior the crystallization susceptibility of glass.
If any, the existing amount of fluorochemical is only 6 % by weight at the most, preferred 4 % by weight at the most, and more preferably 2 % by weight at the most.Can there be the very fluorochemical of a small amount of (ppm), in order to cover colour effect.Glass does not preferably contain this composition.
This upper limit that surpasses MO and F will have detrimentally affect (too short glass) to the viscosity temperature curve, and depart from desired optical position owing to significantly reducing specific refractory power and increase Abbe number.
Also preferably do not contain B according to the particular example of glass of the present invention
2O
3B
2O
3Glass there is detrimentally affect, when especially making up with the platinum melting unit.B
2O
3Cause in essence the increase of glass intermediate ion mobility, this causes the bright susceptibility of devitrification that improves.During with fusing combination in platinum crucible, this effect exacerbates, because due to its erosion to crucible material, B
2O
3Increased entering of heterogeneous platinum core.In addition, the platinum of increase has entered transmission, the especially transmission in blue spectral range also deteriorated.
Because glass according to the present invention is responsive to redox reaction, therefore make condition turn to reductive condition can cause glass because the colloidal particle of gained cause strongly painted when fusing.For offsetting this effect and the melt of avoiding over reduction, glass according to the present invention contains Sb
2O
3, its ratio is at least 0.1 % by weight, preferably is at least 0.2 % by weight, and mostly is 2 % by weight most, preferably mostly is most 0.8 % by weight.Therefore, this composition only time strategic point is used as finings, and mainly in order to guarantee the oxidisability melting condition.Yet, due to Sb
2O
3Has intrinsic absorptivity, so should not surpass the level of 2 % by weight.Sb
2O
3Level is higher, and the absorption edge in blue spectral range is stronger to the transfer of upper wavelength, and the aberration when making the visual range imaging may be along with Sb
2O
3The amount increase and occur.Preferred embodiment does not contain this composition.
Except Sb
2O
3Outside, can contain other conventional finings on a small quantity according to glass of the present invention.The total amount of the finings that these add in addition preferably mostly is most 1 % by weight, consists of 100 % by weight thereby this tittle further adds the composition of residue glass ingredient to.Following composition can be used as other finings (in addition to remaining the % by weight of glass ingredient):
