The reasons for limiting the composition ranges of the above components are as follows.
It is as follows. That is, the amount of the SiO 2 component is 25
%, The chemical durability of the glass decreases, and if the amount exceeds 45%, the melting property of the glass deteriorates, and the optical constants targeted by the present invention cannot be maintained.
If the amount of the B 2 O 3 component is less than 5%, the viscosity at the time of melting the glass increases, making it difficult to obtain a homogeneous glass, and if the amount exceeds 20%, the chemical durability of the glass decreases. I do. The Al 2 O 3 component is a particularly effective component for improving the chemical durability, but if its amount is less than 3%, it is difficult to obtain the effect, and if it exceeds 8%, the melting property and the devitrification resistance of the glass deteriorate. I do.

The TiO 2 component is a component effective for improving the chemical durability, but if its amount is less than 0.05%, a sufficient effect is obtained.
Is not obtained, and when the amount is increased, the light transmittance is deteriorated. The ZrO 2 component is a very effective component in the evaluation of chemical durability, particularly acid resistance by the surface method, but if its amount is less than 0.5%, its effect is small, and if its amount exceeds 8%, It degrades the devitrification resistance of the glass. The MgO component is an effective component for adjusting the optical constants and improving the melting property, but if its amount exceeds 3%, the devitrification resistance deteriorates. The CaO component is an effective component for adjusting the optical constant and improving the melting property. However, if its content exceeds 2%, the chemical durability , particularly the acid resistance by the surface method, is deteriorated.

The BaO component is an important component for maintaining a desired optical constant and improving the devitrification resistance of the glass. If its content is less than 37%, its effect cannot be obtained, and its content exceeds 55%. In addition, the chemical durability of the glass deteriorates, and the viscosity at the time of melting increases, so that a homogeneous glass cannot be obtained. Li
The 2 O, Na 2 O and K 2 O components are effective for improving the meltability, but when the total amount of one or more of them exceeds 8%, the chemical durability deteriorates, Also, a desired optical constant cannot be maintained.
