Background
In recent years, digitalization and high definition of devices using an optical system have been rapidly advancing, and in the field of various optical devices such as image capturing devices such as digital cameras and video cameras, and image reproducing (projection) devices such as projectors and projection televisions, there is an increasing demand for reducing the number of optical elements such as lenses and prisms used in the optical system, and for reducing the weight and size of the entire optical system.
In the optical glass for manufacturing optical elements, the refractive index (n) of more than 1.62, which can realize the light weight, the miniaturization and the chromatic aberration correction of the whole optical system d ) And has an Abbe number (v) of 40 to 65 d ) The demand for medium refractive index low dispersion glass is very high.
As such medium refractive index low dispersion glass, glass compositions represented by patent documents 1 to 2 are known. However, from these B 2 O 3 -La 2 O 3 Glass compositions having such a constitution are often susceptible to water and acids in terms of the characteristics of glass components generally used, and their durability is insufficient. Therefore, when the glass is polished, the glass may be deteriorated, and a defect may occur in the manufacturing process.
In addition, since surveillance cameras, in-vehicle cameras, and the like, which are increasingly demanded in recent years, are often used outdoors, they are often exposed to wind, rain, water vapor in the atmosphere, and the like. When an image sensor using a conventional glass composition is used for a long time in the outside, the durability is not sufficient due to the glass components described in patent documents 1 to 2.

Preferably, the optical glass of the present invention has a small specific gravity. More specifically, the optical glass of the present invention has a specific gravity of 5.00 or less. This reduces the quality of the optical element and the optical device using the optical element, and therefore contributes to weight reduction of the optical device. Therefore, the specific gravity of the optical glass of the present invention is preferably 5.00 or less, more preferably 4.70 or less, and preferably 4.50 or less. The optical glass of the present invention has a specific gravity of substantially 2.80 or more, more specifically 3.00 or more, and still more specifically 3.20 or more.
The specific gravity of the optical glass of the present invention is measured based on "method for measuring specific gravity of optical glass" of Japan optical glass Industrial Association Standard JOGIS 05-1975.

This improves the workability of the optical glass, and reduces the clouding of the glass due to acid rain when applied to an in-vehicle application, etc., thereby making it easier to manufacture an optical element from the glass.
Here, "acid resistance" refers to the durability against corrosion of glass by acid, and this acid resistance can be measured by the japanese optical glass institute standard "method for measuring chemical durability of optical glass" JOGIS 06-2009. The phrase "chemical durability (acid resistance) measured by the powder method is on the order of 1 to 3" means that the chemical durability (acid resistance) based on JOGIS06-2009 is a weight loss rate of the sample before and after the measurement, and is less than 0.65% by mass.
Further, "grade 1" of the chemical durability (acid resistance) is a weight loss rate of less than 0.20% by mass of the sample before and after the measurement, "grade 2" is a weight loss rate of 0.20% by mass or more and less than 0.35% by mass of the sample before and after the measurement, "grade 3" is a weight loss rate of 0.35% by mass or more and less than 0.65% by mass of the sample before and after the measurement, "grade 4" is a weight loss rate of 0.65% by mass or more and less than 1.20% by mass of the sample before and after the measurement, "grade 5" is a weight loss rate of 1.20% by mass or more and less than 2.20% by mass of the sample before and after the measurement, and "grade 6" is a weight loss rate of 2.20% by mass or more of the sample before and after the measurement.

Therefore, the product value of (d × RA) in the present invention is preferably 20.0 or less, more preferably 18.0 or less, further preferably 15.0 or less, and further preferably 13.0 or less.

Thus, even if the melted glass is caused to flow out at a lower temperature, the crystallization of the produced glass is reduced, and therefore, devitrification at the time of forming the glass from a molten state can be reduced, and the influence on the optical characteristics of an optical element using the glass can be reduced. In addition, since the glass can be molded even if the melting temperature of the glass is lowered, the manufacturing cost of the glass can be reduced by suppressing energy consumed in molding the glass.

The acid resistance of the glasses of examples and comparative examples was measured based on the japanese optical glass agency standard "method for measuring chemical durability of optical glass" JOGIS 06-2009. That is, a glass sample crushed to a particle size of 425 to 600 μm was put into a pycnometer and put into a platinum basket. A platinum basket was placed in a quartz glass round-bottom flask containing a 0.01N nitric acid aqueous solution, and treated in a boiling water bath for 60 minutes. The weight reduction percentage (% by mass) of the glass sample after the treatment was calculated as class 1 when the weight reduction percentage (% by mass) was less than 0.20, as class 2 when the weight reduction percentage was 0.20 to less than 0.35, as class 3 when the weight reduction percentage was 0.35 to less than 0.65, as class 4 when the weight reduction percentage was 0.65 to less than 1.20, as class 5 when the weight reduction percentage was 1.20 to less than 2.20, and as class 6 when the weight reduction percentage was 2.20 or more.

As shown in the table, B is the optical glass of the example of the present invention 2 O 3 The components are more than 0 to 45.0 percent, and La 2 O 3 15.0-55.0% of Al 2 O 3 The content of the component (c) is more than 0 to 30.0%, and therefore, an optical glass having excellent durability and desired optical constants can be obtained.
In addition, the refractive index (n) of the optical glass of the embodiment of the present invention d ) Are all above 1.62, and the refractive index (n) d ) Is 1.85 or less, and is within the desired range.
In addition, the Abbe number (. Nu.) of the optical glass of the example of the present invention d ) Are all 65 or less, and the Abbe number (v) d ) 40 or more, all within the desired range.
In addition, the optical glass of the present invention forms a stable glass, and devitrification is less likely to occur when the glass is produced. This can also be inferred from the fact that the liquidus temperature of the optical glass according to the present invention is 1300 ℃ or lower, more specifically 1150 ℃ or lower.
The specific gravity of the optical glass of the examples of the present invention is 5.00 or less. Therefore, it is understood that the optical glass of the embodiment of the present invention has a small specific gravity.
The chemical durability (acid resistance) of the optical glass of the examples of the present invention measured by the powder method was on the order of 1 to 4, and was within a desired range.
Accordingly, the refractive index (n) of the optical glass of the embodiment of the present invention d ) And Abbe number (v) d ) All fall within the desired range, and all the chemical durability (acid resistance) measured by the powder method are on the order of 1 to 4. Therefore, it is understood that the optical glass of the examples of the present invention is excellent in chemical durability (acid resistance).
On the other hand, due to La of the optical glass of comparative example A 2 O 3 Since the content of the component is 15.0% or less, a vitreous material having excellent chemical durability cannot be obtained in a region of medium refractive index and low dispersion. In addition, since the optical glass of comparative example B does not contain Al 2 O 3 Therefore, the stability of the glass is poor and the glass is not vitrified.
Further, a glass block was formed using the optical glass of the example of the present invention, and the glass block was polished and processed into the shapes of a lens and a prism. As a result, various shapes of lenses and prisms can be stably processed.
The present invention has been described in detail for the purpose of illustration, and the present embodiment is for the purpose of illustration only, and it is to be understood that many more modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
