2. Description of the Related Art In general, a method is known in which an optical glass material is heated and softened and press-molded in a mold to obtain an optical element. In this case, if the surface roughness of the glass material is poor, the molded optical element does not satisfy necessary optical characteristics. Usually, a surface roughness Rmax of 0.1 μm or less is required. Therefore, conventionally, a method as disclosed in, for example, JP-A-61-251526 has been adopted. this is,
By arranging the pedestal via a support in a sealable preheating furnace made of heat insulating material, and by uniformly heating the inside of the preheating furnace while supporting the rim of the sized glass material with this pedestal, Most surfaces of the glass material come into contact with the heated gas,
The material is heated and softened, the surface roughness is reduced, and a glass material having a smooth surface can be obtained.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional method, the whole glass material is heated to a temperature higher than the glass softening point, and as shown in FIG. Therefore, the glass material 1 bends and deforms due to its own weight. For this reason, there has been a problem that the deformation amount during press deformation becomes large and it is difficult to obtain a shape satisfying the optical performance.

According to the glass surface smoothing method having the above structure,
Since the heating is performed while the lower surface of the glass material is supported by the supporting member, no bending deformation due to its own weight occurs. Therefore, the amount of deformation at the time of press molding can be small, and the moldability is excellent. Also, if the glass is heated with infrared light and the glass is supported with an infrared transmitting material, only the glass material will be at a high temperature, and the supporting member will be kept at a low temperature without being heated,
There is no fusing, bubbles, or clouding.

Although the support member is hardly heated by the infrared light, the heat of the glass material is actually transmitted to the support member by contact with the glass material, and the temperature of the support member gradually increases. The thermal conductivity of the glass material is very small, and when the glass material is irradiated with infrared rays from the upper surface, as shown in FIG. It takes time to reach the lower surface of the glass material, which is the contact surface of the material with the support member, and to raise the temperature of the glass lower surface. Therefore, if the heating time is short, the rise in the temperature of the support member can be ignored.

When long-time heating is required, it is necessary to apply vibration or rotation to the support member or to cool the support member in order to suppress heat transfer to the support member. By vibrating the support member vertically, the glass material is lifted up from the support member, thereby shortening the contact time of the glass material with the support member and preventing the glass material from being fused to the support member. Further, by vibrating the support member laterally, the glass material can be slid with respect to the support member, and the glass material can be prevented from being fused to the support member. Further, by rotating the support member, the glass material can be slid with respect to the support member, and the glass material can be prevented from being fused to the support member. That is, if the temperature of the supporting member is maintained at a temperature equal to or lower than the temperature corresponding to the softening point of glass, problems such as fusion, bubbles, and clouding do not occur.

The material of the glass material 4 is SF-based optical glass, and its surface roughness is Rmax1.1 μm. The glass material 4 set as described above was irradiated with infrared light 5 having a wavelength of about 4 μm from above and heated.

In the method of the first embodiment, the support member 3 is hardly heated by the infrared light 5, but the temperature of the support member 3 gradually increases due to heat conduction from the glass material 4. For this reason, if heating is performed sufficiently so that the lower surface of the glass material 4 becomes a fire-polished surface without inversion, fusion occurs. In the present embodiment, the support member 3 is air-cooled to suppress the temperature rise of the support member 3,
