2As the staple of glass, and introduce essential alkalimetal oxide, WO
3Deng as the host glass system.
P
2O
5Be the basis that constitutes phosphate glass, compare with silicate glass that phosphate glass more can dissolve refractory oxide, temperature of fusion is lower, and transmitance is higher.Therefore, P
2O
5Content can not be less than 15%, and content surpasses at 30% o'clock, glass is difficult to the optical constant that reaches required.Therefore, P
2O
5Content select 15~30%, more preferably in 16~28% scope.
Nb

5Be the essential composition that is used to obtain high refractive index and high chromatic dispersion, and significantly the improvement stability is stable with raising.Like Nb
2O
5Content is less than 35%, can not obtain the performance of high refractive index and high chromatic dispersion, surpasses 60% like content, and the glass melting degradation also will increase the glass increased devitrification resistance simultaneously, for obtaining stable glass, preferably in 37~55% scope.
TiO
2Also be the essential composition that obtains high refractive index and high chromatic dispersion, and also can significantly improving stability and increase negative anomalous dispersion.Work as TiO
2Content surpass at 20% o'clock, the not only painted intensification of glass, and devitrification behavior degenerates.Therefore, TiO
2The upper content limit value is preferably 18% or lower.
B
2O
3In phosphate glass, can improve the glass devitrification behavior and improve melting properties.B
2O
3Content surpass at 8% o'clock, be difficult to obtain the performance of high refraction, high chromatic dispersion.The present invention finds, surpasses this content and also is prone to make glass coloring to deepen.So B
2O
3The upper limit of introducing amount is preferably in 7.0%.In another kind was preferably formed, its lower limit can be zero.
BaO is a kind of devitrification behavior and essential composition that alleviates glass coloring of improving.Surpass 25% like content, will be difficult to obtain the performance of high chromatic dispersion.Therefore, the upper limit of BaO introducing amount is preferably 21%, and more preferably 20%, lower limit is preferably 0.5%.
Introduce alkalimetal oxide Li
2O, Na

2O, K
2The total content of O surpasses at 22% o'clock, will be difficult to obtain required optical constant, and stability, glass is also with variation simultaneously.Therefore, Na
2O, K
2The upper limit of O introducing amount always preferred 20% or lower.And Li
2O is as optional components, and its introducing amount can be zero fully.
WO
3It is the essential composition that improves specific refractory power and chromatic dispersion, reduces tendency towards devitrification.When its content surpassed 8%, glass coloring was deepened.Therefore the higher limit of its introducing amount is preferably in 8%, more preferably 6% or lower.
Ta
2O
5In glass of the present invention, to improving specific refractory power and alleviating tendency towards devitrification obvious effects is arranged, but the introducing amount surpasses 5%, does not then reach the dispersion values that needs.Therefore for reaching above-mentioned effect, the introducing amount upper limit is preferred 5%, and more preferably 3%.
When an amount of introducing RF (fluorochemical), can effectively obtain required specific refractory power and dispersion values, remarkable to the transmitance effect that improves visible region simultaneously.When the introducing amount surpassed 5%, the stability, glass variation was difficult to obtain desirable optical constant.Therefore, be limited in 4% on this composition introducing amount, more preferably in 3%.
CaO, ZrO as optional member
2, ZnO introducing (optional amount be 5% and each 3%), in the little introducing of maintenance dose and reach under the prerequisite of required optical constant the effect that helps to reduce tendency towards devitrification He alleviate glass coloring.But the content of these compositions also can be zero fully.In preferred a composition, the following of its each composition is limited to 1.0%.Find that three's total amount surpasses 10% can increase tendency towards devitrification greatly, does not also reach required specific refractory power and dispersion values simultaneously.
The preferred Sb of glass of the present invention
2O
3As finings, add-on is in 0.5%.
Specific refractory power (n of the present invention
d) between 1.91~1.96 and Abbe number (υ
d) in 17.5~21, have transmitance>=83% at visible region, have the characteristic of negative anomalous dispersion.The present invention is mainly used in sensing and the projecting lens in digital camera, pick up camera, the liquid crystal projection apparatus.
