Detailed Description
To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention adopted to achieve the predetermined objects, the following detailed description will be given to the embodiments, structures, features and effects of the optical glass with high photosensitivity and low elastic modulus according to the present invention, and the preparation method and applications thereof, in conjunction with the preferred embodiments.
The invention provides high-photosensitivity low-elasticity-modulus optical glass which comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 50-60% SiO 2 ,9~10% B 2 O 3 ,0~7% Ge 2 O 3 ,4~7% Al 2 O 3 ,5~12% PbO,5~10% BaO,5~6% K 2 O,4~6% Na 2 O。
In the above technical solution of the present invention, siO 2 Is the main body of the glass forming skeleton and is the main component of the glass skeleton. By mass percent, siO 2 The content is 50-60%, which is beneficial to reducing the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass and improving the thermal stability, chemical stability, softening temperature, heat resistance, hardness, mechanical strength and the like of the glass; however, when SiO 2 When the content is higher than 60%, the melting difficulty is increased. The present invention strictly defines the SiO 2 The content of (A) is 50wt% -60 wt%.
B 2 O 3 Is a glass forming oxide, is also a component for forming a glass framework, and is a cosolvent for reducing the melting viscosity of glass. In the present invention, B 2 O 3 But also plays a key role in improving the photosensitivity of the glass and reducing the dispersion and the refractive index. Boron oxygen trihedron [ BO 3 ]And boron-oxygen tetrahedron [ BO 4 ]Boron may be trihedral [ BO ] under different conditions as structural elements 3 ]Or boron-oxygen tetrahedron [ BO 4 ]In the presence of B, it is difficult to form boron-oxygen tetrahedron under high-temperature melting conditions, but B is present only in the form of trihedron under certain conditions at low temperature 3+ There is a tendency to abstract free oxygen to form tetrahedra, making the structure compact and increasing the low temperature viscosity of the glass, so that it has characteristics of decreasing the viscosity of the glass at high temperature and increasing the viscosity of the glass at low temperature. Under the action of ultraviolet laser irradiation or femtosecond laser irradiation, the boron and the oxygen in the glass have three sidesBody [ BO ] 3 ]And boron-oxygen tetrahedron [ BO 4 ]The configuration at the microscopic level is transformed, which is the main cause of the photosensitivity of the glass. According to experimental research, the invention strictly limits B in percentage by mass 2 O 3 The content of (A) is 9-10%.
Al 2 O 3 Has special function in glass when Al 3+ Located in the silicon oxygen tetrahedron (AlO) 4 ]Meso, and silicon-oxygen tetrahedron [ SiO ] 4 ]The glass fiber is formed into a network structure body, but the volume is larger, so that the structure is loose, the gap is large, the filling of alkali metal ions is facilitated, the strength of the glass material is improved, and the elastic modulus is reduced.
In the glass system, al 2 O 3 Is part of a glass network structure and plays a connecting role, and aluminum can capture free oxygen to form AlO 4 ]Into a glass network structure, B 2 O 3 Mainly comprises [ BO 3 ]And [ BO 4 ]The form exists in the glass network body, when the component contains 9 to 10 percent of B 2 O 3 And 4 to 7% of Al 2 O 3 In the glass network body [ AlO ] 4 ]、[BO 3 ]、[BO 4 ]And [ SiO ] 4 ]The glass and the optical fiber prepared from the glass form space structure balance, the skeleton structure of the glass is enhanced, and the strength of the glass and the optical fiber prepared from the glass is improved. When B is present 2 O 3 And Al 2 O 3 When the sum of the contents exceeds 16%, the composition is formed by [ AlO ] 4 ]、[BO 4 ]The volume is large, the structure of the glass network is loose, a large amount of alkali metal ions need to be filled, but the strength of the glass is reduced, and the Young modulus, the refractive index, the dispersion and other properties of the glass material are influenced.
GeO 2 And is also a network former, and Ge can replace Si to enter the glass network because Ge and Si are the same group elements and the electronic structure of the outer layer is the same. After the irradiation of ultraviolet laser or femtosecond laser, the change of local microstructure can form the refractive index change. The invention strictly limits GeO 2 The content of (A) is 0 to 7%. Furthermore, in order to guarantee the glass melting quality and process control, the invention strictly limits SiO 2 And GeO 2 In an amount ofThe sum of which does not exceed 62%.
PbO plays an important role in improving the refractive index of glass, adjusting the thermal property of the glass, reducing the melting temperature of the glass and improving the internal quality of the glass. In addition, in the present invention, pbO is also a key factor for improving photosensitivity of the glass. This is because there are only 4 electrons in the outermost electron shells of Pb atoms, which easily absorb photons to cause energy level transition. At the same time Pb 2+ And Pb 4+ The valence state conversion occurs under the irradiation of ultraviolet laser, which causes the potential distribution change in the micro-light region, and further to O 2- The attractive force of the glass is changed, so that the microstructure of the glass is changed, and photosensitivity is formed. According to experimental research, the content of PbO is 5-12% by mass percent. PbO content exceeding 12% has serious adverse effects on the refractive index and dispersion of the glass. In order to give consideration to the parameters of the glass such as refractive index, dispersion, thermal property and the like, the invention strictly limits B 2 O 3 And the sum of the PbO content does not exceed 22%.
For B, in order to reduce glass dispersion, to increase chemical and thermal stability, and to increase photosensitivity 2 O 3 The presence in the glass is critical. It is generally considered that B 2 O 3 Should be present in the glass network predominantly in the tetrahedral form and a small proportion in the trihedral form and undergo a structural change under the action of ultraviolet radiation.
K 2 O and Na 2 O is also an alkali metal oxide, and exists as a network exosome in the glass structure to form non-bridge oxygen, so that the glass structure is relaxed, and the elastic modulus is reduced. Experimental research shows that the glass contains 5-6% of K 2 O, 4-6% of Na 2 And O, which can achieve various performances in the embodiment of the invention.
The magnitude of the elastic modulus of a glass material is generally dependent on the strength of the chemical bonds between the internal particles and also on the structure. The larger the chemical bond between the particles, the smaller the deformation, the larger the elastic modulus, the firmer the glass structure, and the elastic modulusThe larger; conversely, the smaller the elastic modulus of the glass material. Wherein the elastic modulus is equal to Al 2 O 3 、B 2 O 3 、Na 2 O、K 2 O is closely related.
In order to achieve low elastic modulus properties, the invention provides strict control of alkali metal oxides and B in the glass 2 O 3 The content ratio of (a). In the present invention, na is contained in the amount of molar content 2 O and K 2 Sum of O content and B 2 O 3 The content ratio is between 0.9 and 1.4. Meanwhile, in the present invention, the following formula represents Na in terms of molar content 2 O、K 2 O、Al 2 O 3 And B 2 O 3 In relation to the content, let Al 2 O 3 、B 2 O 3 、Na 2 O、K 2 Molar ratio of O

BaO is mainly used for adjusting the refractive index and dispersion coefficient of glass, and has great effect on reducing dispersion. According to experimental research, the BaO content is 5-10%.
The optical glass can also contain antimony trioxide and/or arsenic trioxide with the total content not more than 0.8 percent by mass, and the antimony trioxide and/or arsenic trioxide is mainly introduced into a glass system as a clarifier, so that bubbles in the glass melting process can be discharged, the defects of bubbles, stripes and the like generated in the glass melting process can be reduced, and the internal quality of the optical glass is improved.
