上記の貴金属製容器を用いて行う一連の工程のうち、ガラス融液の温度は清澄時が最も高い。そこで本発明者は、高屈折率ガラスの清澄時のガラス融液の温度を低くすべく鋭意検討を重ねた。その結果、屈折率ndを2.0を超える範囲、具体的には2.02以上としつつ、清澄温度が1100℃以下になるような粘性特性、具体的には、粘度が1.0dPa・sとなる温度が1100℃以下となる粘度特性を付与することにより、ガラスの着色および異物の増加を抑制しつつ、泡切れ不良のない高屈折率ガラスを得ることができることを見出した。清澄はガラス融液の気泡が浮上し融液から排出されやすいよう、熔融ガラスの粘度が1.0dPa・s程度となる温度で行うことが好ましい。したがって、熔融ガラスの粘度が1.0dPa・sとなる温度が低いほど、清澄を低温で行うことが可能となるため、ガラス融液を高温にすることに起因する着色や異物発生を抑制することが可能となる。
本発明の一態様は、以上の知見に基づき完成された。

に関する。
上述の光学ガラスを加工することにより、または上述の方法により光学ガラスを作製し、作製した光学ガラス加工することにより、光学素子を得ることを含む光学素子の製造方法、
に関する。
さらに本発明の一態様によれば、上記光学ガラスからなるプレス成形用ガラス素材、光学素子、例えば撮像光学系、投射光学系などの光学系のコンパクト化、高機能化に適した光学素子、およびそれらの製造方法を提供することができる。
光学ガラスAは、カチオン成分として、P5+を10~40カチオン%、Ti4+、Nb5+、W6+、Bi3+およびTe4+を合計で50カチオン%以上、但し、W6+およびBi3+の合計含有量に対するTi4+およびNb5+の合計含有量のカチオン比((Ti4++Nb5+)/(W6++Bi3+))が1.3以下、B3+、Li+、Na+、K+、Rb+、Cs+、Mg2+、Ca2+、Sr2+、Ba2+およびZn2+を合計で、Ti4+、Nb5+、W6+、Bi3+およびTe4+の合計含有量の1/3以下、Li+、Na+、K+、Rb+およびCs+を合計で0%超含む酸化物ガラスであり、屈折率が2.02以上である光学ガラスである。
光学ガラスAは、屈折率ndが2.02以上と屈折率が極めて高いガラスでありながら、優れたガラス熔融性を示すことができる。そのため、熔融温度を過剰に高くする必要がなく、白金、金などのガラス熔融容器材料の侵蝕を軽減することができ、これら金属材料の溶け込みによるガラスの着色を軽減することができる。また、清澄温度を過剰に高くしなくても泡切れが良好なため、均質性の高い光学ガラスを得ることもできる。
以下、光学ガラスAのガラス組成について詳説する。
光学ガラスAは酸化物ガラスであり、O2-がアニオンの主成分である。O2-の含有量は90~100アニオン%を目安として考えればよい。O2-の含有量が上記範囲内であれば、他のアニオン成分としてF-、Cl-、Br-、I-、S2-、Se2-、N3-、NO3 -、またはSO4 2-などを含有させてもよい。その場合、F-、Cl-、Br-、I-、S2-、Se2-、N3-、NO3 -、およびSO4 2-の合計含有量は、例えば、0~10アニオン%とすることができる。O2-の含有量を100アニオン%としてもよい。
一方、B3+、Li+、Na+、K+、Rb+、Cs+、Mg2+、Ca2+、Sr2+、Ba2+、Zn2+は、ガラスの熔融性を改善する働きがある。
光学ガラスAでは、高屈折率特性を維持するため、B3+、Li+、Na+、K+、Rb+、Cs+、Mg2+、Ca2+、Sr2+、Ba2+およびZn2+の合計含有量の上限を、Ti4+、Nb5+、W6+、Bi3+およびTe4+の合計含有量との比により規定する。すなわち、B3+、Li+、Na+、K+、Rb+、Cs+、Mg2+、Ca2+、Sr2+、Ba2+およびZn2+の合計含有量を、Ti4+、Nb5+、W6+、Bi3+およびTe4+の合計含有量の1/3以下とする。その上で、熔融性改善に有効なLi+、Na+、K+、Rb+およびCs+を合計で0%超含有させる。このようにすることで、屈折率ndが2.02以上であり、熔融性に優れた光学ガラスを得ることができる。
なお、Ti4+、Nb5+、W6+、Bi3+およびTe4+の合計含有量に対するB3+、Li+、Na+、K+、Rb+、Cs+、Mg2+、Ca2+、Sr2+、Ba2+およびZn2+の合計含有量のカチオン比((B3++Li++Na++K++Rb++Cs++Mg2++Ca2++Sr2++Ba2++Zn2+)/(Ti4++Nb5++W6++Bi3++Te4+))の好ましい上限は3/10、より好ましい上限は1/4、さらに好ましい上限は9/40であり、好ましい下限は1/5、より好ましい下限は1/6、さらに好ましい下限は3/20、4/30である。
Cs+は少量の導入によりガラスが安定化するため、任意成分としてガラスに導入することができる。しかし、他のアルカリ金属成分と比較し高価であることから、Cs+の含有量を0~5%とすることが好ましく、0~3%とすることがより好ましく、0~2%、0~1%とすることがさらに好ましい。
なおRb+、Cs+は、含有させなくてもよい。
高屈折率特性、ガラスの熱的安定性を維持する上から、Li+、Na+およびK+の合計含有量を15%以下にすることが好ましく、12%以下にすることがより好ましく、10%以下にすることがさらに好ましく、8%以下にすることが一層好ましく、6%以下にすることがより一層好ましく、5%以下にすることがさらに一層好ましく、4%以下にすることがなお一層好ましい。
なお、Mg2+、Ca2+、Sr2+、Zn2+を含有させなくてもよい。
Ga3+、La3+、Gd3+、Y3+、Yb3+、Lu3+、In3+、Ge4+、Hf4+は、少量であれば含有しても構わないが、これら成分により有意義な効果が得られることはなく、いずれも高価な成分であることから、それぞれの含有量を0~2%の範囲とすることが好ましく、0~1%の範囲とすることがより好ましく、0%以上0.5%未満とすることがさらに好ましく、0%以上0.1%未満とすることが一層好ましく、ガラスの製造コストを抑える上から含有させないことが望ましい。
次に、光学ガラスAのガラス特性について詳述する。
光学ガラスAの屈折率ndは2.02以上である。このように高屈折率が極めて高い光学ガラスは、高ズーム比、広角、コンパクトな光学系を構成するための光学素子の材料として好適である。屈折率ndの上限は、上記ガラス組成の範囲から自ずと定まるが、3.0を目安とすることができる。
なお、光学系の高機能化、コンパクト化により有効な光学素子に用いられる光学ガラスを提供するという観点から、屈折率ndの好ましい下限は2.03、より好ましい下限は2.05、さらに好ましい下限は2.07である。
ガラスの熔融性、熱的安定性を維持する上から、屈折率ndの好ましい上限は2.3、より好ましい上限は2.2、さらに好ましい上限は2.18、一層好ましい上限は2.16である。
アッベ数νdの下限は、上記ガラス組成の範囲から自ずと定まるが、ガラスの熔融性、熱的安定性を維持する上から、アッベ数νdの好ましい下限は14、より好ましい下限は15、さらに好ましい下限は16である。
νd<39.00-10×nd ・・・・・ (1)
νd<38.80-10×nd ・・・・・ (2)
νd<38.60-10×nd ・・・・・ (3)
νd<38.40-10×nd ・・・・・ (4)
νd<38.20-10×nd ・・・・・ (5)
光学ガラスAは、後述する理由から、光学ガラスBについて下記に詳述する粘度特性を有することが好ましい。
液相温度はガラスの高屈折率高分散化に伴い上昇傾向を示す。液相温度が上昇すると、ガラス製造時の失透を防止するために、熔融温度、成形温度を上昇させることとなる。光学ガラスAの液相温度の好ましい範囲は1100℃以下の範囲である。液相温度を前記範囲にすることで、熔融温度、成形温度の過度な上昇を抑制することができる。ガラス製造時、熔融容器材料である白金や金がガラスに溶け込んでガラスが着色したり、白金や金が異物として混入しガラスの品質を低下することを防止する上から、液相温度を上記範囲にすることが好ましい。液相温度のより好ましい上限は1050℃、さらに好ましい上限は1000℃、一層好ましい上限は980℃、より一層好ましい上限は960℃、さらに一層好ましい上限は950℃、なお一層好ましい上限は940℃、特に好ましい上限は930℃、最も好ましい上限は920℃である。
なお、液相温度の下限は、高融点の高屈折率成分を多く含有する観点から800℃以上、より好ましくは850℃以上を目安として考えることができる。
なお液相温度におけるガラスの粘度は1.0dPa・s以上であることが好ましく、1.5dPa・s以上であることがより好ましく、2.0dPa・s以上であることがさらに好ましく、2.5dPa・s以上であることがより一層好ましく、3.0dPa・s以上であることがさらに一層好ましく、3.5dPa・s以上がなお一層好ましい。
液相温度におけるガラスの粘度の上限に特に制限はないが、ガラスの光学特性などの改善を図る上から、100dPa・s以下であることが好ましく、30dPa・s以下であることがより好ましく、20dPa・s以下であることがさらに好ましい。
一般に、光学ガラスの分光透過率特性において、どこまで短波長の光を透過するかを示す指標として、外部透過率70%を示す波長であるλ70、外部透過率5%を示す波長であるλ5といった特定波長による指標が用いられている。
λ70とは、波長280~700nmの範囲において光線透過率が70%になる波長のことである。ここで、光線透過率とは、10.0±0.1mmの厚さに研磨された互いに平行な面を有するガラス試料を用い、前記研磨された面に対して垂直方向から光を入射して得られる分光透過率、すなわち、前記試料に入射する光の強度をIin、前記試料を透過した光の強度をIoutとしたときのIout/Iinのことである。分光透過率には、試料表面における光の反射損失も含まれる。また、上記研磨は測定波長域の波長に対し、表面粗さが十分小さい状態に平滑化されていることを意味する。λ5は、λ70について前記した方法で測定される光線透過率が5%となる波長である。
前述の通り従来の高屈折率ガラスは熔融、清澄において着色しやすい傾向があるが、光学ガラスAの好ましい態様では、屈折率ndが2.02以上でありながら、550nm以下のλ70を実現することができる。λ70のより好ましい範囲は520nm以下、さらに好ましい範囲は500nm以下、一層好ましい範囲は490nm以下、より一層好ましい範囲は480nm以下、さらに一層好ましい範囲は470nm以下、なお一層好ましい範囲は460nm以下である。λ70の下限は特に限定されるものではないが、380nmをλ70の下限の目安として考えればよい。
λ5の好ましい範囲は450nm以下、より好ましい範囲は430nm以下、さらに好ましい範囲は410nm以下、一層好ましい範囲は400nm以下、より一層好ましい範囲は395nm以下、さらに一層好ましい範囲は390nm以下である。λ5の下限は特に限定されるものではないが、300nmをλ5の下限の目安として考えればよい。
本発明の一態様によれば、着色が少ないというだけでなく、白金や金など熔融容器を構成する金属材料のイオン化による混入や金属粒子としての混入が極めて少ない光学ガラスの提供が可能である。
本明細書において、比重は-30℃/時の徐冷速度で得られたガラスの比重により定義される。光学ガラスAの比重の好ましい上限は6.5、より好ましい上限は5.9、さらに好ましい上限は5.8、一層好ましい上限は5.7、より一層好ましい上限は5.65である。好ましい下限には特に制限はないが、比重を過剰に低くすると、屈折率の低下などの現象が発生するおそれがあるため、比重の好ましい下限は3.0、より好ましい下限は4.0、さらに好ましい下限は4.5、一層好ましい下限は4.8、より一層好ましい下限は5.0である。
光学ガラスBは、屈折率ndが2.02以上であり、かつ粘度が1.0dPa・sとなる温度が1100℃以下である。
以下、光学ガラスBについて詳説する。
なお液相温度におけるガラスの粘度は1.5dPa・s以上であることがより好ましく、2.0dPa・s以上であることがさらに好ましく、2.5dPa・s以上であることが一層好ましく、3.0dPa・s以上であることがより一層好ましく、3.5dPa・s以上がさらに一層好ましい。
液相温度におけるガラスの粘度の上限に特に制限はないが、ガラスの光学特性などの改善を図る上から、100dPa・s以下であることが好ましく、30dPa・s以下であることがより好ましく、20dPa・s以下であることがさらに好ましい。
なお、液相温度の下限は、高融点の高屈折率成分を多く含有する観点から800℃以上、より好ましくは850℃以上を目安として考えることができる。
上記関係式を満たす光学ガラスは、屈折率、分散が極めて高いガラスであり、高ズーム比化、広角化、コンパクト化に好適な光学素子材料である。屈折率ndの上限は3.0を目安とすることができる。
なお、光学系の高機能化、コンパクト化により有効な光学素子に用いられる光学ガラスを提供するという観点から、屈折率ndの好ましい下限は2.03、より好ましい下限は2.05、さらに好ましい下限は2.07である。
ガラスの熔融性、熱的安定性を維持する上から、屈折率ndの好ましい上限は2.3、より好ましい上限は2.2、さらに好ましい上限は2.18、一層好ましい上限は2.16である。
ガラスの熔融性、熱的安定性を維持する上から、アッベ数νdの好ましい下限は14、より好ましい下限は15、さらに好ましい下限は16である。
第4の好ましい態様は、ガラス成分として、P5+を10カチオン%以上含む光学ガラスである。P5+の含有量が10カチオン%以上であることにより、ガラスの熱的安定性、熔融性を改善することができる。
P5+は、ガラスネットワーク形成成分であり、液相温度を低下させるとともに粘度が1.0dPa・sを示す温度の上昇を抑制する働きをする成分でもある。P5+の含有量が40%を越えると屈折率が低下し、ガラスの結晶化傾向が増大する傾向を示すため、P5+の含有量を40%以下とすることが好ましい。P5+の含有量のより好ましい下限は12%であり、さらに14%、16%、18%、20%、22%、24%、26%の順に下限値が大きくなるほど一層好ましい。一方、P5+の含有量のより好ましい上限は38%であり、さらに35%、33%、31%、30%、29%、28%の順に上限値が小さくなるほど一層好ましい。
Ti4+、Nb5+、W6+、Bi3+、Te4+は、いずれも屈折率を高める働きがあり、屈折率ndを2.02以上にするために、Ti4+、Nb5+、W6+、Bi3+およびTe4+の合計含有量を50%以上とすることが好ましい。より屈折率の高いガラスを得る上から、Ti4+、Nb5+、W6+、Bi3+およびTe4+の合計含有量のより好ましい下限は55%であり、以下、56%、57%、58%、59%、60%の順により大きい値ほど下限値としてより一層好ましい。Ti4+、Nb5+、W6+、Bi3+およびTe4+の合計含有量が過剰になるとガラスの熱的安定性が低下するため、Ti4+、Nb5+、W6+、Bi3+およびTe4+の合計含有量の上限を75%とすることが好ましい。以下、72%、70%、68%、66%の順により小さい値ほど上限値としてより一層好ましい。
一方、B3+、Li+、Na+、K+、Rb+、Cs+、Mg2+、Ca2+、Sr2+、Ba2+、Zn2+はガラスの熔融性を改善する働きがある。
第6の好ましい態様では、高屈折率特性を維持するため、B3+、Li+、Na+、K+、Rb+、Cs+、Mg2+、Ca2+、Sr2+、Ba2+およびZn2+の合計含有量の上限をTi4+、Nb5+、W6+、Bi3+およびTe4+の合計含有量との比により規定する。すなわち、第6の好ましい態様は、B3+、Li+、Na+、K+、Rb+、Cs+、Mg2+、Ca2+、Sr2+、Ba2+およびZn2+の合計含有量が、Ti4+、Nb5+、W6+、Bi3+およびTe4+の合計含有量の1/3以下である光学ガラスである。
なお、Ti4+、Nb5+、W6+、Bi3+およびTe4+の合計含有量に対するB3+、Li+、Na+、K+、Rb+、Cs+、Mg2+、Ca2+、Sr2+、Ba2+およびZn2+の合計含有量のカチオン比((B3++Li++Na++K++Rb++Cs++Mg2++Ca2++Sr2++Ba2++Zn2+)/(Ti4++Nb5++W6++Bi3++Te4+))の好ましい上限は3/10、より好ましい上限は1/4、さらに好ましい上限は9/40であり、好ましい下限は1/5、より好ましい下限は1/6、さらに好ましい下限は3/20、4/30である。
屈折率ndが2.02以上であり、熔融性の優れた光学ガラスを得る上から、第6の好ましい態様と第7の好ましい態様を組み合わせた態様が一層好ましい態様となる。
Cs+は少量の導入によりガラスが安定化するため、任意成分としてガラスに導入することができる。しかし、他のアルカリ金属成分と比較し高価であることから、Cs+の含有量を0~5%とすることが好ましく、0~3%とすることがより好ましく、0~2%、0~1%とすることがさらに好ましい。
なおRb+、Cs+は、含有させなくてもよい。
高屈折率特性、ガラスの熱的安定性を維持する上から、Li+、Na+およびK+の合計含有量を15%以下にすることが好ましく、12%以下にすることがより好ましく、10%以下にすることがさらに好ましく、8%以下にすることが一層好ましく、6%以下にすることがより一層好ましく、5%以下にすることがさらに一層好ましく、4%以下にすることがなお一層好ましい。
なお、Mg2+、Ca2+、Sr2+、Zn2+を含有させなくてもよい。
Ga3+、La3+、Gd3+、Y3+、Yb3+、Lu3+、In3+、Ge4+、Hf4+は、少量であれば含有しても構わないが、これら成分により有意義な効果が得られることはなく、いずれも高価な成分であることから、それぞれの含有量を0~2%の範囲とすることが好ましく、0~1%の範囲とすることがより好ましく、0%以上0.5%未満とすることがさらに好ましく、0%以上0.1%未満とすることが一層好ましく、ガラスの製造コストを抑える上から含有させないことが望ましい。
光学ガラスBの着色度に関する好ましい態様については、先に光学ガラスAについて記載した通りである。光学ガラスBは、着色が少なく、かつ白金や金など熔融容器を構成する金属材料のイオン化による混入や金属粒子としての混入が極めて少ない光学ガラスとなり得る。
光学ガラスBの比重に関する好ましい態様については、先に光学ガラスAについて記載した通りである。
本発明の一態様にかかる光学ガラスの製造方法は、ガラス原料を加熱により熔融し、得られた熔融ガラスを清澄し、清澄した熔融ガラスを成形することを含み、上記ガラス原料を、上述の本発明の光学ガラスAまたはBが得られるように調合する。
以下、本発明の一態様にかかる光学ガラスの製造方法の具体的態様について説明するが、本発明は下記態様に限定されるものではない。
次に、得られたカレットを白金、白金合金、金、金合金などの貴金属製の坩堝に投入し、液相温度LT~LT+80℃、好ましくは液相温度LT~LT+50℃に加熱し、攪拌して、熔融した。次いでガラスが1.0dPa・sを示す温度±50℃、好ましくはガラスが1.0dPa・sを示す温度±20℃で0.5~3時間かけて熔融ガラスを清澄する。清澄後、ガラスの温度を清澄温度から液相温度LT~LT+80℃、好ましくは液相温度LT~LT+50℃、より好ましくは液相温度LT~LT+40℃、さらに好ましくは液相温度LT~LT+30℃に降温した後、坩堝底部に接続したパイプから熔融ガラスを流出させ、または鋳型に鋳込んで成形し、光学ガラスを得ることができる。なお、金製の貴金属製坩堝を使う際の設定温度は金の融点より低い1050℃以下とする。
上記温度条件、ならびに各工程に要する時間は適宜、調整可能である。
また、光学特性が異なる複数種のカレットを上述の方法で作製し、これらカレットを所要の光学特性が得られるように調合して熔融、清澄、成形し、光学ガラスを作製することもできる。
本発明の一態様にかかるプレス成形用ガラス素材(以下、ガラス素材という)は、光学ガラスAまたはBからなる。上述のガラス素材を得るためには、例えば、まず光学ガラスAまたはBが得られるように調合したガラス原料を加熱、熔融し、成形する。このようにして作製したガラス成形体を加工し、プレス成形品1個分の量に相当するガラス素材を作製する。このような方法以外でも熔融ガラスからプレス成形用ガラス素材を作る公知の方法を適用することができる。
本発明の一態様にかかる光学素子は、光学ガラスAまたはBからなる。
本発明の一態様にかかる光学素子の製造方法は、光学ガラスAまたはBを加工することにより、または上述の一態様にかかる光学ガラスの製造方法により光学ガラスを作製し、作製した光学ガラスを加工することにより、光学素子を得る。
光学素子の具体例としては、非球面レンズ、球面レンズ、または平凹レンズ、平凸レンズ、両凹レンズ、両凸レンズ、凸メニスカスレンズ、凹メニスカスレンズなどのレンズ、マイクロレンズ、レンズアレイ、回折格子付きレンズなどの各種レンズ、プリズム、レンズ機能付きプリズムなどを例示することができる。表面には必要に応じて反射防止膜や波長選択性のある部分反射膜などを設けてもよい。
上述の光学素子は超高屈折率特性を有する光学ガラスからなるので、他のガラスからなる光学素子と組合せることにより、良好な色収差補正を行うことができる。また、撮像光学系を高ズーム比化、広角化、コンパクト化する上でも有効である。さらに、超高屈折率特性を備えながら、組成調整により比重増大を抑制することができるため、光学素子の軽量化が可能となり、振動に対する焦点位置のズレ防止にも有効である。
さらに、分光透過率特性における吸収端が短波長化されたガラスの使用により、可視短波長域の画像情報の欠落を防止することができ、デジタル式撮像装置の色再現性改善にも有効である。
上述の光学素子は、デジタルスチルカメラ、デジタルビデオカメラ、監視カメラ、車載カメラなど各種カメラの撮像光学系、DVD、CDなどの光記録媒体へのデータ書き込み、読み出し用の光線を導く光学素子、例えば、光ピックアップレンズやコリメータレンズなどにも好適である。また、光通信用の光学素子としても好適である。
表1に示すNo.1~14の組成を有するガラスとなるように各成分に対応する化合物原料を秤量し、十分混合して調合原料とした。なお、表1に示すガラス組成は、カチオン%表示の値が基準である。なお、No.1~14の組成を有する酸化物ガラスのアニオン成分は、全量、O2-である。
次に調合原料を石英製坩堝に入れて1100℃~1200℃で攪拌しながら0.5~1.5時間熔解を行った後、急冷、粉砕して、カレットを得た。
次に、得られたカレットを白金製または金製の貴金属製坩堝に投入し、液相温度LT+20℃~LT+80℃に加熱し、攪拌して、熔融した。次いで、ガラスが1.0dPa・sを示す温度±50℃、好ましくはガラスが1.0dPa・sを示す温度±20℃で0.5~3時間かけて熔融ガラスを清澄した。清澄後、ガラスの温度を清澄温度から液相温度LT~LT+60℃に降温した後、坩堝底部に接続したパイプから熔融ガラスを流出させ、または鋳型に鋳込んでガラスブロックに成形した。なお、金製の貴金属製坩堝を使う際の設定温度は金の融点より低い1050℃以下とした。
得られた各ガラスブロックに光線を入射させ、ガラス中の前記光線の光路を横から観察したところ、ガラス中に結晶などの異物は認められず、均質性の高い、高品質の光学ガラスが得られたことが確認された。
(1)屈折率ndおよびアッベ数νd
日本光学硝子工業会規格JOGIS-01に基づいて測定した。測定結果を表1に示す。
(2)液相温度LTおよび粘度1.0dPa・sを示す温度
ガラス試料を所定温度に加熱された炉内に入れて2時間保持し、冷却後、ガラス内部を100倍の光学顕微鏡で観察し、結晶の有無から液相温度を決定した。粘度JIS規格 Z8803、共軸二重円筒形回転粘度計による粘度測定方法により粘度を測定し、粘度1.0dPa・sを示す温度を求めた。
(3)ガラス転移温度Tg
ガラス転移温度は示差走査型熱量計DSC3300SAを用いて固体状態のガラスを昇温したときの吸熱カーブから測定した。この測定方法により測定されるTgは日本光学硝子工業会規格JOGIS-08に基づいて測定したTgと対応関係を示す。測定結果を表1に示す。
(4)比重
日本光学硝子工業会規格JOGIS-05に基づいて測定した。測定結果を表1に示す。
(5)λ70、λ5
λ70、λ5は次のようにして測定した。厚さ10mmの互いに平行かつ光学研磨された平面を有するガラス試料を用い、波長280nmから700nmまでの波長域における分光透過率を測定する。分光透過率は、光学研磨された一方の平面に垂直に強度Aの光線を入射し、他方の平面から出射する光線の強度Bを測定し、B/Aによって算出される。したがって、分光透過率には試料表面における光線の反射損失も含まれる。分光透過率が70%になる波長がλ70であり、分光透過率が5%になる波長がλ5である。測定結果を表1に示す。
実施例1と同様にして光学ガラスNo.1~14が得られるようにガラス原料を加熱、熔融、清澄、均質化し、得られた熔融ガラスを鋳型に流し込んで急冷し、ガラスブラックに成形した。次にガラスブロックをアニールした後、切断、研削してプレス成形用ガラス素材を作製した。
実施例2において作製したプレス成形用ガラス素材を加熱、軟化し、プレス成形型を用いて公知の方法によりプレス成形し、レンズブランク、プリズムブランクなどの光学素子ブランクを作製した。
得られた光学素子ブランクは精密アニールを施し所要の屈折率になるよう屈折率の精密調整を行った後、公知の研削、研磨法によりレンズやプリズムに仕上げた。
実施例2において作製したプレス成形用ガラス素材の表面を研磨して精密プレス成形用のプレス成形用ガラス素材とし、このガラス素材を加熱し精密プレス成形して非球面レンズを得た。精密プレス成形は公知の方法で行った。
このようにして、各種レンズ、プリズムなどの光学素子を作製した。
また、得られたレンズを用いて携帯電話搭載の撮像ユニットや光ピックアップユニットを作製したところ、振動に対して焦点位置ズレの極めて少ないユニットを得ることができた。
本実施例の光学素子は、低分散ガラス製光学素子との組合せにより良好な色収差補正を可能にする。また、撮像装置をはじめ各種光学機器の高性能化、コンパクト化に有効である。
例えば、上述の例示されたガラス組成に対し、明細書に記載の組成調整を行うことにより、本発明の一態様にかかる光学ガラスを作製することができる。
また、明細書に例示または好ましい範囲として記載した事項の2つ以上を任意に組み合わせることは、もちろん可能である。
