Description

The optical glass of high index of refraction
Technical field
The present invention relates to high refractive optics bismuth oxide glass, and also relate to production and the purposes of such glass.
Background technology
In recent years, the market trend in optics and photoelectron technology is (in imaging, projection, telecommunication, optical information skill Application in art, portable hard drive and laser technology) the most day by day develop towards miniaturization.This can produce from the least terminal Product are found out, and naturally require all parts and the assembly increasingly miniaturization of such end product.Life to optical glass For business men, although the quantity of end product is continuously increased, but this development is with the notable fall of the demand to base glass Low.Meanwhile, for glass manufacturers, also exist and come from other increasing price pressure adding industry and commerce, this is because Producing in such smaller group part from glass blocks and/or ingot, there is significantly larger amounts of waste material with the percentage of product, and And compared with in the case of bigger assembly, the manufacture of these the least parts needs more high cost.
The glass portion for optical module is separated with from glass blocks or ingot routine except producing preformed objects by such as hot rolling / outer, there is also following production method, wherein, after glass melting, it is possible to directly obtain the most near net-shaped or the most whole The preformed objects of shape, such as grumeleuse or spheroid.Nearly end form preformed objects is suitable for re-compacted.
Such preformed objects also can by accurately compacting or accurately molding be advantageously transformed into optical element such as lens, Aspherical components etc..This method can be setup flexibly less glass melt amount by the short equipment time and (be distributed in big In amount less material block).But, due to relatively small operation size and the least geometry, described method produce Added value can not be separately from material value.Product must be need not correction, cooling and/or the cold post-treatment of complexity State leaves press.Owing to needing high geometric accuracy, use high-quality therefore must be utilized for such drawing method The precision instrument of expensive mold materials.Therefore, such mold use life-span is to product and/or the income of the material of production Property has tremendous influence.It is low-down operating temperature to the factor that the high service life of mould is particularly important, but this can only It is reduced to the degree making the viscosity of material to be pressed still be enough to be used in pressing process.Therefore, in the processing temperature of glass to be processed Therefore transition temperature TgAnd there is direct causalnexus between the rentability of this pressing process: the transition temperature of glass The lowest, the mold use life-span is the longest, and profit is the highest.This relation causes " low TgGlass " demand, " low TgGlass " I.e. there is the glass of low melting point and transition point, i.e. there is the glass of viscosity being suitable for processing at extremely low temperatures.
From the viewpoint of melt is processed, another demand is the demand to " short " glass the most day by day increased, " short Property " glass i.e. shows the glass of big change along with its viscosity of temperature relatively small change in the range of particular viscosity.Molten During change, this characteristic has the advantage that can shorten hot forming time, i.e. when mold closure.First this increase production energy Power, i.e. circulation time shorten.Secondly, it is gentle, as it has been described above, total cost of production is had by equally on the impact of mold materials Positive influences.Such " short " glass also has and has the advantage that, i.e. compared with in the case of corresponding " long property " glass more Fast cooling, also makes the glass with relatively high crystal orientation also be able to processed.Thus avoid front nucleus to be formed, i.e. exist Second heat forming step subsequently may cause the formation of the nuclei of crystallization of problem.This opens and can also draw such glass To form the probability of fiber.
It is moreover desirable that glass has enough chemical resistances and has the least coefficient of expansion.
Although having been described for that there is similar optical position and/or the glass of suitable chemical composition in the prior art, but These glass have sizable shortcoming.
DE 11 2,006 001070 describes bismuth oxide glass.Only disclose and there is relatively low Bi2O3(30 and 35 rub content Your %) the absorption curve of two examples.Described disclosure is not described in the situation of the glass with high-bismuth-oxide content The problem that middle absorbance may reduce.
(see for example DE 10 2,007 050 172) in the prior art, disclosing Cr can exist as usual impurities In glass.
