等之砷化合物係環境負荷較高之成分,因而期望實質上不含有,即,除不可避免地混入以外,較好一概不含有。 再者,Th、Cd、Tl、Os、Be、及Se之各成分係近年來有作為有害化學物質而控制使用之傾向,不僅是玻璃之製造步驟,且至加工步驟、及製品化後之處理之前,必須採取環境上的對策措施。因此,在重視環境上之影響之情形,較佳為實質性不含有該等。 [製造方法] 本發明之光學玻璃係例如藉以下方式製作。即,將上述原料以各成分成為特定含量之範圍內之方式均一混合,將製作之混合物投入白金坩鍋,根據玻璃原料之熔解難易度以電爐於1100~1500 ℃之溫度範圍熔解2~5小時並攪拌均質化後,下降至適當溫度,而後澆注入模具,並緩冷,藉此製作。 此時,較佳使用熔解性高者作為玻璃原料。藉此,因可以更低溫熔解,或以更短時間熔解,故可提高玻璃之生產性,且減低生產成本。又,因成分之揮發或與坩堝等之反應被降低,故可容易獲得著色較少之玻璃。 [物性] 本發明之光學玻璃較佳具有高折射率及高阿貝數(低分散)。 本發明之光學玻璃之折射率(nd )較佳以1.70,更佳以1.72,進而更佳以1.74,進而更佳以1.75,進而更佳以1.78,進而更佳以1.80為下限。尤其,第1光學玻璃之折射率(nd )亦較佳以1.75,更佳以1.78,進而更佳以1.79,進而更佳以1.80為下限。 另一方面,該折射率(nd )亦較佳以2.10,更佳以2.00,進而更佳以1.90,進而更佳以1.85為上限。尤其,第2光學玻璃之折射率(nd

如此,本發明之光學玻璃於光學設計上有用,尤其於構成光學系統時,可謀求高成像特性等,且謀求光學系統之小型化,並擴大光學設計之自由度。 本發明之光學玻璃較佳為耐失透性較高,具體而言係具有低液相溫度。即,本發明之光學玻璃之液相溫度較佳以1200 ℃,更佳以1150 ℃,進而更佳以1100

℃以上。藉此,因玻璃之穩定性提高且不易引起結晶化,因而可減低玻璃製作時或壓製成形時之失透,藉此獲得適於壓製成形之玻璃。因此,本發明之光學玻璃之玻璃轉移點亦較佳為500 ℃以上,更佳為530 ℃以上,進而更佳為550 ℃以上。 本發明之光學玻璃較佳具有800 ℃以下之屈伏點(At)。屈伏點係與玻璃轉移點同樣地表示玻璃之軟化性之指標之一,係表示接近壓製成形溫度之溫度的指標。因此,藉由使用屈伏點為800 ℃以下之玻璃,即便將光學玻璃用於壓製成形之情形,亦可以更低之溫度容易使玻璃壓製成形。因此,本發明之光學玻璃之屈伏點較佳以800 ℃,更佳以750 ℃,進而更佳以700 ℃為上限。 另,本發明之光學玻璃之屈伏點並未特別限定,亦較佳以500 ℃,更佳以550 ℃,進而更佳以600 ℃為下限。

By using the B 2 O 3 component and the La 2 O 3 component as the basis, it is easy to obtain a stable glass having a refractive index (n d ) of 1.70 or more and an Abbe number (ν d ) of 25 or more and 50 or less. In addition, the inventor of the present application found that, especially in glasses with a refractive index (n d ) above 1.70 and an Abbe number (ν d ) above 25 and below 50, the components that make the material cost higher, especially Nb 2 O When the content of 5 components or WO 3 components is reduced, the liquidus temperature of the glass is also lowered, and the devitrification can be reduced especially when the glass is made. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an optical glass with refractive index (n d ) and Abbe number (ν d ) within the desired range at a lower cost, and with high devitrification resistance. In addition, since the optical glass of the present invention has a high transmittance with respect to visible light, it can be preferably used for the purpose of transmitting visible light. Among them, one having a refractive index (n d ) of 1.75 or more and an Abbe number (ν d ) of 25 or more and 48 or less can also be used as the first optical glass. In addition, a refractive index (n d ) of 1.70 or more and 1.90 or less and an Abbe number (ν d ) of 30 or more and 50 or less may be used as the second optical glass. In addition, at least one of the CaO component and the BaO component may be contained in a total of more than 0% and 30.0% or less as the third optical glass. By containing at least one of the CaO component and the BaO component, it is easy to obtain a more stable glass having a refractive index (n d ) of 1.70 or more and an Abbe number (ν d ) of 25 or more and 50 or less. Moreover, especially by containing at least one of a CaO component and a BaO component, a desired high refractive index is obtained and the transmittance of light on the short-wavelength side of visible light is improved. In addition to the Nb 2 O 5 component or the WO 3 component, by reducing the total amount of rare earths, further cost reduction can be achieved. Hereinafter, the embodiment of the optical glass of the present invention will be described in detail. The present invention does not limit the following embodiments in any way, and can be implemented by adding appropriate changes within the scope of the object of the present invention. In addition, although appropriate descriptions may be omitted for overlapping descriptions, this does not limit the gist of the invention. [Glass component] The composition range of each component constituting the optical glass of the present invention will be described below. In this specification, unless otherwise specified, the content of each component is expressed in mole% relative to the total mole% of the total composition converted from all oxides. Here, the "oxide conversion composition" assumes that the oxides, composite salts, metal fluorides, etc. used as the raw materials of the glass components of the present invention are all decomposed and converted into oxides when they are melted. The total mole number of the object is set to 100 mole%, and the composition of each component contained in the glass is described. <Regarding essential components and optional components> The B 2 O 3 component is an essential component of the glass-forming oxide in the optical glass of the present invention containing a large amount of rare earth oxides. In particular, by setting the content of the B 2 O 3 component to 5.0% or more, the devitrification resistance of the glass is improved, and the Abbe number of the glass is increased. Therefore, the content of the B 2 O 3 component is preferably 5.0% or more, more preferably 10.0% or more, still more preferably more than 10.0%, still more preferably more than 14.0%, still more preferably 15.0% or more, and still more preferably It is more than 15.0%, more preferably more than 19.0%, still more preferably more than 20.0%, still more preferably more than 20.0%, still more preferably more than 25.0%. On the other hand, by setting the content of the B 2 O 3 component to 55.0% or less, a larger refractive index can be easily obtained, and deterioration of chemical durability can be suppressed. Therefore, the content of the B 2 O 3 component is preferably 55.0% or less, more preferably less than 51.0%, still more preferably 50.0% or less, still more preferably less than 47.0%, still more preferably less than 45.0%, Even more preferably, it is less than 42.0%, even more preferably, it is less than 40.0%, and even more preferably, it is less than 38.0%. For the B 2 O 3 component system, H 3 BO 3 , Na 2 B 4 O 7 , Na 2 B 4 O 7 ·10H 2 O, BPO 4, etc. can be used as raw materials. The La 2 O 3 component is an essential component to increase the refractive index and Abbe number of the glass. Therefore, the content of the La 2 O 3 component is preferably 5.0% or more, more preferably more than 7.0%, still more preferably more than 8.0%, and still more preferably more than 10.0%. On the other hand, by setting the content of the La 2 O 3 component to 30.0% or less, it is possible to reduce the devitrification by improving the stability of the glass, and to suppress an excessive increase in the Abbe number. In addition, the meltability of the glass raw material is improved. Therefore, the content of the La 2 O 3 component is preferably 30.0% or less, more preferably less than 25.0%, still more preferably less than 22.0%, still more preferably less than 21.0%, and still more preferably less than 20.0% , Still more preferably 19.5% or less, still more preferably 17.5% or less, still more preferably 16.5% or less, still more preferably 14.5% or less. For the La 2 O 3 component, La 2 O 3 , La(NO 3 ) 3 ·XH 2 O (X is an arbitrary integer), etc. can be used as raw materials. The total amount of the Nb 2 O 5 component and the WO 3 component is preferably set to less than 10.0%. Thereby, since the content of these expensive components is reduced, the material cost of the glass can be suppressed. Therefore, the molar sum (Nb 2 O 5 +WO 3 ) is preferably less than 10.0%, more preferably less than 5.0%, still more preferably less than 3.0%, still more preferably less than 2.0%, and still more Preferably, it is less than 1.5%, more preferably less than 1.0%, still more preferably less than 0.5%, and still more preferably less than 0.1%. At least one of the CaO component and the BaO component preferably contains more than 0% and 30.0% or less in total. In particular, by setting the sum to more than 0%, the refractive index or visible light transmittance of the glass is increased. In addition, since this reduces the content of rare earths, it is also possible to further reduce costs. Therefore, the molar sum (CaO+BaO) is preferably more than 0%, more preferably more than 1.0%, and still more preferably more than 2.0%. On the other hand, by setting the sum to 30.0% or less, since the liquidus temperature of the glass becomes lower, the devitrification of the glass can be reduced. Therefore, the molar sum (CaO+BaO) is preferably 30.0% or less, more preferably less than 25.0%, still more preferably less than 20.0%, and still more preferably less than 15.0%. When the SiO 2 component contains more than 0%, it is an optional component that can increase the viscosity of the molten glass and reduce the coloring of the glass. In addition, it is also a component that makes it easy to obtain glass that has improved stability of the glass and is resistant to mass production. Therefore, the content of the SiO 2 component is also preferably more than 0%, more preferably more than 1.0%, still more preferably more than 5.0%, still more preferably more than 8.0%, still more preferably more than 10.2%, and still more preferably More than 10.5%. On the other hand, by setting the content of the SiO 2 component to 25.0% or less, the increase in the glass transition point is suppressed, and the decrease in the refractive index is suppressed. Therefore, the content of the SiO 2 component is preferably 25.0%, more preferably less than 22.0%, still more preferably less than 20.0%, still more preferably less than 18.0%, still more preferably less than 15.5%, and still more The best is less than 14.0%. As the SiO 2 component, SiO 2 , K 2 SiF 6 , Na 2 SiF 6 or the like can be used as a raw material. When the ZnO component contains more than 0%, it is an optional component that improves the solubility of the raw materials, promotes the defoaming of self-melting glass, and improves the stability of the glass. In addition, it is also possible to reduce the coloring components of the glass by shortening the melting time. In addition, it is also a component that can reduce the glass transition point and improve chemical durability. Therefore, the content of the ZnO component is also preferably more than 0%, more preferably more than 1.0%, still more preferably more than 2.2%, still more preferably more than 2.5%, still more preferably more than 4.2%, and still more preferably more than 4.5%, still more preferably more than 5.0%, still more preferably more than 5.5%, still more preferably more than 6.5%, still more preferably more than 8.5%, still more preferably more than 10.0%, still more preferably more than 15.0% . On the other hand, by setting the content of the ZnO component to 45.0% or less, the decrease in the refractive index of the glass can be suppressed, and the devitrification caused by the excessive decrease in viscosity can be reduced. Therefore, the content of the ZnO component is preferably 45.0% or less, more preferably less than 40.0%, still more preferably less than 35.0%, still more preferably less than 33.0%, and still more preferably less than 32.0%. As the ZnO component, ZnO, ZnF 2 or the like can be used as a raw material. When the ZrO 2 component contains more than 0%, it is an optional component that can increase the refractive index and Abbe number of the glass, and improve the devitrification resistance. Therefore, the content of the ZrO 2 component is also preferably more than 0%, more preferably more than 1.0%, still more preferably more than 2.0%, and still more preferably more than 2.0%. On the other hand, by setting the content of the ZrO 2 component to 15.0% or less, it is possible to reduce the devitrification caused by excessively containing the ZrO 2 component. Therefore, the content of the ZrO 2 component is preferably 15.0% or less, more preferably less than 12.0%, still more preferably less than 10.0%, still more preferably less than 6.9%, and still more preferably less than 6.0%. As the ZrO 2 component, ZrO 2 , ZrF 4, etc. can be used as a raw material. When the Nb 2 O 5 component contains more than 0%, it is an optional component that improves the resistance to devitrification by increasing the refractive index of the glass and lowering the liquidus temperature of the glass. On the other hand, by setting the content of the Nb 2 O 5 component to less than 10.0%, the material cost of the glass is suppressed. In addition, it can reduce the devitrification caused by excessively containing the Nb 2 O 5 component, and suppress the drop in the transmittance of the glass to visible light (especially the wavelength of 500 nm or less). In addition, this suppresses the decrease in Abbe number. Therefore, the content of the Nb 2 O 5 component is preferably less than 10.0%, more preferably less than 5.0%, still more preferably less than 3.0%, still more preferably less than 2.0%, and still more preferably less than 1.4 %, still more preferably less than 1.0%, still more preferably less than 0.5%, still more preferably less than 0.1%. In particular, from the viewpoint of reducing material cost, it is most preferable that the Nb 2 O 5 component is not contained. For the Nb 2 O 5 component, Nb 2 O 5 or the like can be used as a raw material. When the WO 3 component contains more than 0%, it is an optional component that can reduce the coloring of the glass due to other high refractive index components, increase the refractive index, reduce the glass transition point, and improve the resistance to devitrification. On the other hand, by setting the content of the WO 3 component to less than 10.0%, the material cost of the glass is suppressed. In addition, it reduces the coloring of the glass due to the WO 3 component and improves the visible light transmittance. Therefore, the content of the WO 3 component is preferably less than 10.0%, more preferably less than 5.0%, still more preferably less than 3.0%, still more preferably less than 1.0%, and still more preferably less than 0.5%, More preferably, it is less than 0.1%. In particular, from the viewpoint of reducing material cost, it is most preferable not to contain WO 3 components. For the WO 3 component, WO 3 or the like can be used as a raw material. When the content of Gd 2 O 3 and Yb 2 O 3 exceeds 0%, it is an optional component that increases the refractive index of the glass. However, since the Gd 2 O 3 component and the Yb 2 O 3 component are expensive in raw materials, the production cost becomes higher if they are contained in a large amount, so the effect of reducing the Nb 2 O 5 component or the WO 3 component is cancelled out. In addition, by reducing the content of the Gd 2 O 3 component or the Yb 2 O 3 component, the increase in the Abbe number of the glass is suppressed. Therefore, the content of each of the Gd 2 O 3 component and the Yb 2 O 3 component is preferably less than 4.0%, more preferably less than 2.0%, still more preferably less than 1.0%, and still more preferably less than 0.5%, More preferably, it is less than 0.1%. Especially from the viewpoint of reducing material cost, it is best not to contain these components. For the Gd 2 O 3 component and the Yb 2 O 3 component, Gd 2 O 3 , GdF 3 , Yb 2 O 3, etc. can be used as raw materials. When the Ta 2 O 5 component contains more than 0%, it is an optional component that increases the refractive index of the glass and improves the resistance to devitrification. However, the Ta 2 O 5 component has a high raw material price, and if its content is large, the production cost becomes high. Therefore, the effect of reducing the Nb 2 O 5 component or the WO 3 component is canceled. In addition, by setting the content of the Ta 2 O 5 component to less than 5.0%, the melting temperature of the raw material can be lowered, and the energy required for melting the raw material can be reduced, so the manufacturing cost of the optical glass can also be reduced. Therefore, the content of the Ta 2 O 5 component is preferably less than 5.0%, more preferably less than 3.0%, still more preferably less than 1.0%, still more preferably less than 0.5%, and still more preferably less than 0.1 %. In particular, from the viewpoint of reducing material cost, it is most preferable that the Ta 2 O 5 component is not contained. For the Ta 2 O 5 component, Ta 2 O 5 or the like can be used as a raw material. When the TiO 2 component contains more than 0%, it is an optional component that improves the stability by increasing the refractive index of the glass and lowering the liquidus temperature of the glass. Therefore, the content of the TiO 2 component is also preferably more than 0%, more preferably more than 1.1%, still more preferably more than 4.0%, still more preferably more than 5.0%, and still more preferably more than 6.5%.

That is, the above-mentioned raw materials are uniformly mixed in such a way that each component is within a specific content range, and the resulting mixture is put into a platinum crucible, and the glass raw material is melted in an electric furnace at a temperature range of 1100 to 1500 ℃ for 2 to 5 hours according to the melting difficulty of the glass material. After mixing and homogenizing, it is lowered to an appropriate temperature, and then poured into the mold, and slowly cooled to make it. In this case, it is preferable to use one with high melting property as the glass raw material.

Therefore, the glass transition point of the optical glass of the present invention is preferably 700°C or lower, more preferably 650°C or lower, and even more preferably 630°C or lower. On the other hand, the glass transition point of optical glass can also be above 500 ℃.
