Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a precision press-molding preform (a preform for precision press-molding) and a process for the production thereof and also relates to an optical element and a process for the production thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to a precision press-molding preform, the preform being formed of a phosphate glass and being for an optical element to be encased in an imaging device of a color VTR or digital camera using a solid image sensing device of a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) type or MOS (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) type, and a process for the production thereof. And, it also relates to various optical elements formed from such preforms by precision press-molding, particularly, an optical element having a near infrared absorbing function, and a process for the production thereof. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
[0002] Conventionally, most of imaging devices of digital cameras and digital VTR cameras use CCD and MOS ...
