- About the impurity level or less means, for example, less than 0.01%.
- the expression "stability against devitrification” means the resistance of glass to devitrification.

It means phenomenon.

- Optical glass containing a kind of cation is a kind of cation.
- Cation % refers to the ratio of the number of moles of the target cation to the number of moles of the total cations contained in the optical glass. More specifically, when it consists of 50 mol of SiO 2 and 50 mol of Na 2 O, Si 4+ is 33.3% and Na + is 66.7% in cation % notation.
- the mode of each cation is not particularly limited, for example, it can be contained in the optical glass in the form of an oxide or the like.
- the optical glass according to this embodiment is a novel optical glass that can be vitrified even if the content of cations constituting network-forming oxides such as SiO 2 and B 2 O 3 is low.
- the optical glass according to the present embodiment can have a high refractive index, a low dispersibility (wavelength dependence of the refractive index), a low specific gravity, and a high level of stability against devitrification. Furthermore, by setting it as the composition of this embodiment, a large sized glass gob can be produced stably.
- La 3+ is, for example, a component contained as La 2 O 3 in terms of oxide composition.

- the lower limit of this content is preferably 1%, more preferably 5%, and still more preferably 8%.
- the upper limit of this content is preferably 18%, more preferably 15%, and still more preferably 12%.
- the Si 4+ component is, for example, included as SiO 2 in terms of oxide composition, and is a component that constitutes a network-forming oxide.

- the upper limit of this content is preferably 9%, more preferably 8%, and still more preferably 7%.
- B 3+ is, for example, included as B 2 O 3 in terms of oxide composition, and is a component constituting a network-forming oxide.

図5は、本実施形態に係る接合レンズの一例を示す概略図である。接合レンズ3は、第1のレンズ要素301と第2のレンズ要素302とを有する複合レンズである。第1のレンズ要素と第2のレンズ要素の少なくとも1つは、本実施形態に係る光学ガラスを用いる。第1のレンズ要素と第2のレンズ要素は、接合部材303を介して接合されている。接合部材303としては、公知の接着剤等を用いることができる。なお、「レンズ要素」とは、単レンズ又は接合レンズを構成する各々のレンズのことを意味する。
本実施形態に係る光学ガラスは、例えば、浮遊炉を用いて製造することができる。浮遊炉には、静電式、電磁式、音波式、磁気式、及びガスジェット式等があり、特に限定されるものではないが、酸化物の浮遊熔解にはガスジェット式の浮遊炉を用いることが好ましい。以下、ガスジェット式の浮遊炉を用いる製造方法を一例として説明する。
各実施例及び比較例1、2に係る光学ガラスは、図6及び図7に示すガスジェット式の浮遊炉4を用い、以下の手順で作製した。まず、各表に記載の組成(カチオン%)となるよう、酸化物から選ばれるガラス原料を秤量した。また、ガラス原料を水酸化物、炭酸塩、硝酸塩、硫酸塩から選んでも良い。次に、秤量した原料をアルミナ製乳鉢で混合した。この原料を20MPaで一軸加圧し円柱形のペレットに成形した。得られたペレットを電気炉で1000~1300℃、大気中で6~12時間焼成し、焼結体を作製した。得られた焼結体を粗く砕き、50~4100mgを採取して台座のノズルに設置した。そして、空気ガスを噴射しながら炭酸ガスレーザを上方から照射することで原料を熔解させた。熔解した原料は、自身の表面張力で球形又は楕円体形状になり、ガスの圧力で浮遊状態とした。原料が完全に熔解した状態でレーザ出力を遮断することで、原料を冷却して各実施例については直径6.88~15.40mm、厚み4.6~6.4mmのガラスゴブ(ガラス球)を得た。各実施例のガラスについては、いずれも熔解中に視認できる揮発は確認されず、泡や失透についても確認されなかった。
図8、図9は、各実施例の光学恒数値をプロットしたグラフである。
結晶化開始温度(Tx)と、ガラス転移温度(Tg)は、いずれも昇温過程における示差熱分析(昇温温度10℃/分)によって測定し、Tx-Tgを温度差(ΔT)とした。
各サンプルの比重(Sg)は、乾式密度計(島津製作所社製;「アキュピックII1340」)によって測定した。比重の値は、小数点以下第3位までとした。
各サンプルの直径(D)及び各サンプルの厚み(T)は、電子ノギスで測定した。
実施例1~26のうち、実施例1~23は、サンプルを90度のプリズム加工を行い、屈折率測定器(カルニュー光学工業社製;「KPR-3000」)を用いてVブロック法により屈折率を測定し、アッベ数と部分分散比と異常分散性とを算出した。実施例24~26は、サンプルを40度のプリズム加工を行い、精密屈折率測定器(TRIOPTICS社製;「Spectro Master HR」)を用いて最小偏角法により屈折率を測定し、アッベ数と部分分散比と異常分散性とを算出した。
νd=(nd-1)/(nF-nC)・・・(2)
屈折率の値は、小数点以下第5位までとした。
各サンプルの部分分散比(Pg,F)は、主分散(nF-nC)に対する部分分散(ng-nF)の比を示し、以下の式(2)より求めた。ngは、波長435.835nmの光に対するガラスの屈折率を示す。部分分散比(Pg,F)の値は、小数点以下第4位までとした。
Pg,F=(ng-nF)/(nF-nC)・・・(3)
各サンプルの異常分散性(ΔPg,F)は、正常分散性を有するガラスとしてF2およびK7の2硝種を基準とした部分分散比標準線からの偏りを示す。すなわち、縦軸を部分分散比(Pg,F)、横軸をアッベ数νdとする座標上で、2硝種を結ぶ直線と、比較対象のガラスの値との縦座標の差分が、部分分散比の偏り、すなわち異常分散性(ΔPg,F)となる。上記の座標系で、部分分散比の値が、基準となる硝種を結ぶ直線よりも上側に位置する場合にはガラスは正の異常分散性(+ΔPg,F)を示し、下側に位置する場合にはガラスは負の異常分散性(-ΔPg,F)を示す。なお、F2およびK7のアッベ数νdと部分分散比(Pg,F)は以下の通りである。
F2:アッベ数νd=36.33、部分分散比(Pg,F)=0.5834
K7:アッベ数νd=60.47、部分分散比(Pg,F)=0.5429
異常分散性(ΔPg,F)の値は、小数点以下第4位までとした。
ΔPg,F=Pg,F-(-0.0016777×νd+0.6443513)・・・(4)
