Definitions

- Solid-state imaging elements such as CCDs and CMOSs used in PCs, digital still cameras, etc. have spectral sensitivity that ranges from the visible range to the near-infrared range around 1200 nm. Because solid-state imaging elements cannot provide good color reproduction as is, their visibility is corrected using near-infrared cut filter glass to which a specific substance that absorbs infrared light has been added.
- the optical properties required for near-infrared cut filter glass are strong absorption in the near-infrared range (800 nm to 1200 nm) and high transmittance from the visible range to the red range (400 nm to 600 nm).
- a sharper absorption shape (hereinafter also referred to as sharp cut properties) is required in the shape of the transmittance curve from the red transmission range to the near-infrared blocking range.
- optical glass (hereinafter also referred to as copper phosphate glass) has been developed in which Cu components have been added to fluorine-free phosphate glass, as a near-infrared cut filter glass.
- copper phosphate glass has issues with weather resistance.
- optical glass (hereinafter also referred to as copper fluorophosphate glass or fluorophosphate glass containing Cu, or fluorophosphate glass) has been developed in which Cu components have been added to fluorophosphate glass (phosphate glass containing fluorine) to provide high weather resistance.
- the compositions of these glasses are disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4.
- JP 2016-60671 A JP 2004-83290 A WO2022/009558 CN-A-114455836
- copper phosphate glass has high near-infrared absorption and excellent sharp cutting in the near-infrared range, but has issues with weather resistance.
- copper fluorophosphate glass has high weather resistance, but has issues with near-infrared absorption and sharp cutting in the near-infrared range.

- the present invention is as follows.
- a fluorophosphate glass essentially containing each of the components P, Al, K, Cu, F and R (R is one or more selected from Li, Na, Rb and Cs), the content of Al3 + being 2% to 20%, expressed by mass%, and the expected value of the ionic radius of the alkali metal components consisting of K and R being 80 pm to less than 133 pm.
- the present invention provides fluorophosphate glass that combines excellent optical properties with high weather resistance, as well as near-infrared cut filters, optical filters, and optical devices that incorporate the glass.
- FIG. 1 is a graph showing the transmittance of light having a wavelength of 300 nm to 1200 nm in the fluorophosphate glasses of Example 5 (embodiment) and Example 10 (comparative example).
- the content of each component and the total content are expressed in "mass %.”
- mass % as used in this specification indicates the percentage of the mass of each ion when the total mass of the cationic components is taken as 100.
- the range “ ⁇ to ⁇ ” means “ ⁇ or more and ⁇ or less.”
- “Less than ⁇ to ⁇ ” means “ ⁇ or more and less than ⁇ .”
- the transmittance of the glass in this embodiment includes the reflective properties of the glass surface (i.e., it is not the internal transmittance of the glass).
- a fluorophosphates glass according to an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as the fluorophosphates glass of the present embodiment, or simply as fluorophosphates glass, or glass) is characterized in that it essentially contains each of the components P, Al, K, Cu, F, and R (R is one or more selected from Li, Na, Rb, and Cs), has an Al 3+ content of 2% to 20%, and has an expected ionic radius of 80 pm (picometers) to less than 133 pm (picometers) of the alkali metal components consisting of K and R.
- the glass according to an embodiment of the present invention is a copper fluorophosphate glass, the essential components of which are P, Al, K, Cu, F, and R (wherein R is one or more selected from Li, Na, Rb, and Cs).
- Glass containing P as the main component has the effect of enhancing the absorption capacity in the near-infrared region and the sharp cutting ability in the near-infrared region.
- F and Al in the glass can improve weather resistance.
- the absorption capacity in the near-infrared region and the sharp cutting ability can be improved by adjusting the expected value of the ionic radius of the alkali metal components consisting of K and R to less than 80 pm to 133 pm, and the inclusion of K and R can improve weather resistance.
- the alkali metal components are K + , Li + , Na + , Rb + and Cs + components, and the expected values of the ionic radii of these components are defined as follows:
- the ionic radii of each alkali metal component are as follows: The ionic radius r Li of Li + is 60 pm, the ionic radius r Na of Na + is 95 pm, the ionic radius r K of K + is 133 pm, the ionic radius r Rb of Rb + is 148 pm, and the ionic radius r Cs of Cs + is 169 pm. These ionic radii are based on the literature of L. Pauling (1931-1933), THE NATURE OF THE CHEMICAL BOND (1963, translated by Masao Koizumi, Chemical Bond Theory, Kyoritsu Shuppan). "Cation %" is a unit that expresses the content of each cationic component in mole percentage when the total content of all cationic components contained in glass is 100 mole %.
- the expected ionic radius of an alkali metal component is calculated using the following formula:
- Expected ionic radius [ionic radius of each alkali metal component x total amount of cations of each component] / [total amount of cations of all alkali metal components], To be more specific, it is as follows.
- the glass according to the embodiment of the present invention can maintain a high transmittance in the red region while maintaining a sharp absorption shape with enhanced absorption in the near infrared region by setting the expected value of the ionic radius of the alkali metal components ( Li + , Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs + ) to 80 pm or more. The reason for this is presumed to be as follows.
- non-bridging oxygen is coordinated to Cu2 + to form a regular octahedron. If the symmetry of the non-bridging oxygen coordinated to Cu2 + is high, it has a sharp absorption peak in the near infrared region, but if the symmetry of these non-bridging oxygen decreases for reasons described below, the absorption peak of Cu2 + shifts, and the shape of the transmittance curve of the glass changes from a sharp absorption shape to a broad absorption shape. It has been reported in "Optical Properties of Glass II. by Kadono Kohei (2009) NEW GLASS Vol. 24 No. 2" that the absorption spectrum of transition metals including Cu is easily changed by changes in the coordination environment in glass.
- Electronegativity is a property that indicates the strength of the force that the nucleus of an atom attracts the surrounding electrons.
- the ionic radius is a value that indicates the distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron shell of an atom. In atoms of the same group, the electronegativity is smaller when the distance between the nucleus and the bonding electron pair is longer, so in other words, a component with a large ionic radius has a small electronegativity.
- the symmetry of non-bridging oxygen coordinated to Cu2 + is not reduced, and high absorption ability in the near-infrared region and high sharp cutting ability in the near-infrared region can be achieved.
- the weather resistance may decrease if the expected value of the ionic radius of the alkali metal components (Li + , Na + , K + , Rb + , Cs + ) is set to 133 pm or more. The reason for this is presumed to be as follows.
- Weather resistance is evaluated based on the degree of deterioration of the glass surface caused when the glass is left standing for a long time under high temperature and high humidity.
- H + present on the glass surface penetrates into the glass and attacks the -O-P-O- structure, causing hydrolysis.
- H 3 PO 4 desorbed from the glass surface remains in liquid form and further reacts with the glass, causing the precipitation of foreign matter, which deteriorates the glass surface.
- the expected ionic radius of the alkali metal component is between 80 pm and less than 133 pm. If it is 80 pm or more, the effect of high absorption ability in the near infrared range and improved sharp cutting properties can be fully obtained, and if it is less than 133 pm, problems such as reduced weather resistance are unlikely to occur.
