Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an optical glass, in particular to an optical glass with low refraction and low dispersion, and a glass preform, an optical element and an optical instrument made of the same. Background Art

[0002] Fluorophosphate optical glass is a new type of glass material with a wide range of applications. It has the characteristics of low dispersion and low refractive index. It can eliminate the special dispersion of the secondary spectrum in the optical system, improve the resolution, and significantly improve the imaging quality of the optical system. It also has a low softening temperature and can be directly precision molded into aspheric lenses.

[0003] In the prior art, fluorophosphate optical glass with a refractive index of 1.46 to 1.52 and an Abbe number of 81 to 88 often prioritizes molding stability, but pays less attention to reducing the thermal expansion coefficient and density of the glass.

[0020] The following will describe the embodiments of the optical glass of the present invention in detail, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and can be implemented by appropriate changes within the scope of the purpose of the present invention. In addition, although there are appropriate omissions of descriptions of the repeated descriptions, the gist of the invention will not be limited thereby, and in the following content, the optical glass of the present invention is sometimes referred to as glass.

[0021] [Optical glass]

[0022] The following is an explanation of the scope of each component (ingredient) constituting the optical glass of the present invention. In this specification, unless otherwise specified, each component is expressed in mole percentage, that is, the content of each ionic component and the total content are expressed in mole percentage of the total content of the ionic component and all anionic and cationic components.

[0023] Unless otherwise indicated in specific circumstances, the numerical ranges listed herein include upper and lower limits, "above" and "below" include the endpoints, and all integers and fractions included in the range, without being limited to the specific values ​​listed when the range is defined. "And / or" referred to herein is inclusive, for example, "A and / or B" means only A, or only B, or both A and B.

[0024] It should be noted that the ionic valences of the components described below are representative values ​​used for convenience and are not different from other ionic valences. The ionic valences of the components in the optical glass may be other than the representative values. For example, P usually exists in the glass in a state of +5 ionic valence, so in this disclosure, “P 5+ " is used as a representative value, but there is the possibility of existing in other ionic valence states, which is also within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0025] <Essential Components and Optional Components>

[0026] P 5+ It is a component of the optical glass of the present invention, and has the effect of inhibiting the devitrification of the glass and inhibiting the increase of density. If its content is less than 3%, the devitrification resistance of the glass decreases and the density increases. If its content exceeds 10%, the dispersion of the glass increases and the Abbe number decreases, resulting in the optical performance being difficult to meet the design requirements. Therefore, P in the present invention 5+ The content of is 3 to 10%, preferably 4 to 8%, and more preferably 4.5 to 6.5%.

[0027] Al 3+ It can improve the stability of the glass of the present invention, and effectively improve the processability and chemical stability of the glass, and at the same time reduce the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass. If its content is less than 3%, it is impossible to form a stable glass skeleton and obtain the above-mentioned effects; if its content is higher than 15%, the transition temperature and liquidus temperature of the glass increase, making it difficult to melt the glass, and at the same time, the temperature increases during molding, resulting in increased volatilization of the glass, making the glass stripe worse; on the other hand, too high a transition temperature makes compression molding difficult. Therefore, Al in the present invention 3+ The content is 3 to 15%, preferably 6 to 13%, and more preferably 8 to 11%.

[0028] Ba 2+ It has the effect of improving the refractive index, thermal stability and weather resistance of glass, but too much Ba 2+ This will lead to an increase in the density and thermal expansion coefficient of the glass, and a worse abrasion resistance. 2+ The content of is 2 to 10%, preferably 3 to 8%, and more preferably 4.5 to 6.5%.

[0029] Sr 2+It can reduce the thermal expansion coefficient of glass and effectively adjust the refractive index and density of glass. However, if its content is too high, the devitrification resistance and chemical stability of glass will be reduced. 2+ The content is 2 to 10%, preferably 3 to 8%, and more preferably 4 to 6%.

[0030] Ca 2+ It has the effect of reducing the thermal expansion coefficient and density of glass, and can improve the chemical stability of glass and improve the grinding performance of glass. However, if its content is too high, the refractive index of glass is difficult to meet the design requirements, and the devitrification resistance may be deteriorated. 2+ The content of is 2 to 10%, preferably 3 to 9%, more preferably 5 to 7%.

[0031] Mg 2+ It can improve the abrasiveness of the glass, but in the glass of the present invention, if Mg 2+ If the content of Mg exceeds 5%, the stability of the glass will be greatly reduced. 2+ The content of Mg is 0-5%, preferably 0-4%, and more preferably 0-3%. In some embodiments, it is further preferred that Mg is not contained. 2+ .

[0032] Y 3+ It can increase the refractive index of glass and reduce the thermal expansion coefficient of glass. If its content is higher than 3%, the liquidus temperature of glass will rise and the resistance to devitrification will decrease. 3+ The content of Y is 0-3%, preferably 0-2%, and more preferably 0-1%. In some embodiments, Y can be introduced by using Y fluoride, oxide, or salt containing Y. 3+ .

[0033] La 3+ It has the effect of increasing the refractive index of glass and improving acid resistance. 3+ When the content of La is too high, the thermal stability and resistance to devitrification of the glass decrease, and the glass is prone to devitrification during the manufacturing process. 3+ The content of La is 0-3%, preferably 0-2%, and more preferably 0-1%. In some embodiments, La can be introduced by using La fluoride, La oxide, La-containing salt, etc. 3+ .

[0034] G 3+ It can improve the chemical stability of glass, maintain low dispersion while appropriately increasing the refractive index, and appropriately increase the mechanical strength and reduce the thermal expansion coefficient. If its content exceeds 3%, the liquidus temperature and stability of the glass will decrease. Therefore, Gd 3+The content of Gd is 0-3%, preferably 0-2%, and more preferably 0-1%. In some embodiments, Gd can be introduced by using Gd fluoride, oxide, and salt containing Gd. 3+ .

[0035] R + (R + For Li + 、Na + , K + One or more of these) can reduce the glass transition temperature. + If the content is greater than 5%, the liquidus temperature of the glass will increase. + The content of R is 0 to 5%, preferably 0 to 3%, and more preferably 0 to 2%. + .

[0036] F - It plays a significant role in adjusting the refractive index of glass, reducing the temperature coefficient of refractive index and the transition temperature, and is an important component for increasing the Abbe number and abnormal dispersion. - If the content is too high, it will weaken the stability of the glass, increase the thermal expansion coefficient and abrasion, especially during the melting process. - The volatilization of F will not only pollute the environment, but also make the optical constants of the glass exceed the design range. - When the content of F is less than 45%, the designed Abbe number and abnormal dispersion cannot be obtained; if the content is higher than 55%, the Abbe number of the glass will become too large, and the volatilization will increase sharply when it is melted and used for precision molding. - The content is limited to 45 to 55%, preferably 46 to 53%, and more preferably 47 to 51%.

[0037] The inventors have conducted extensive research and found that in some embodiments, by controlling F - The content of Al 3+ Mg 2+ , P 5+ , Y 3+ , Gd 3+ Total content of Al 3+ +Mg 2+ +P 5+ +Y 3+ +Gd 3+ The ratio F - / (Al 3+ +Mg 2+ +P 5+ +Y 3+ +Gd 3+) is below 5.0, which can effectively reduce the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass. However, when the ratio is lower than 2.0, the transition temperature of the glass increases, the liquidus temperature increases, and the production difficulty increases. Therefore, it is preferred that F - / (Al 3+ +Mg 2+ +P 5+ +Y 3+ +Gd 3+ ) is 2.0 to 5.0, and more preferably F - / (Al 3+ +Mg 2+ +P 5+ +Y 3+ +Gd 3+ ) is 2.5 to 4.0, and more preferably

[0038] F - / (Al 3+ +Mg 2+ +P 5+ +Y 3+ +Gd 3+ ) is 2.7~3.2.

[0039] The optical glass of the present invention contains O 2- , especially by containing more than 15% O 2- , can obtain excellent optical properties and low wear, but when O 2- When the content is greater than 25%, the liquidus temperature of the glass rises rapidly. 2- The content of is 15 to 25%, preferably 17 to 23%, and more preferably 19 to 21%.

[0040] The inventors have found through a large number of experimental studies that in some embodiments, controlling F - and O 2- Total content F - +O 2- With P 5+ The ratio between the contents of - +O 2- ) / P 5+ In the range of 8.0 to 15.0, the glass can have the desired optical constants while reducing the density of the glass and optimizing the thermal stability and coloring of the glass. - +O 2- ) / P 5+ 8.0 to 15.0, more preferably (F - +O 2- ) / P 5+ is 9.0 to 13.0, and more preferably (F - +O 2- ) / P 5+It is 10.0~12.0.

[0041] In some embodiments, Ba 2+ , Y 3+ , Gd 3+ ,La 3+ and O 2- Total content of Ba 2+ +Y 3+ +Gd 3+ +La 3+ +O 2- With P 5+ The ratio between the contents of 2+ +Y 3+ +Gd 3+ +La 3+ +O 2- ) / P 5+ When the value is controlled within the range of 3.0 to 5.5, the glass can obtain a lower density and thermal expansion coefficient while improving the resistance to devitrification of the glass. 2+ +Y 3+ +Gd 3+ +La 3+ +O 2- ) / P 5+ is 3.0 to 5.5, more preferably (Ba 2+ +Y 3+ +Gd 3+ +La 3+ +O 2- ) / P 5+ is 3.5 to 5.0, and more preferably (Ba 2+ +Y 3+ +Gd 3+ +La 3+ +O 2- ) / P 5+ It is 3.8 to 4.5.

[0042] The optical glass of the present invention may contain less than 1% of a clarifier to improve the clarification effect of the glass. The clarifier is Cl - Br - ,I - , Sb 3+ One or more components in the clarifier may corrode platinum utensils when the clarifier content is too high. Therefore, the content of the clarifier in the present invention is 0-1%, preferably 0-0.5%, and more preferably 0-0.3%.

[0043] Without impairing the excellent properties of the glass of the present invention, the optical glass of the present invention may contain Ta, 5+ , W 6+ ,Ge 4+ 、Bi3+ 、Te 4+ And other components.

[0044] <Ingredients that should not be contained>

[0045] Without impairing the excellent properties of the glass of the present invention, other components not mentioned above can be added as needed. However, transition metal components such as Ce, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ag and Mo, even if contained in small amounts alone or in combination, will color the glass and produce absorption at specific wavelengths in the visible light region, thereby weakening the property of improving the visible light transmittance of the present invention. Therefore, it is preferred that the optical glass, especially for optical glass with required transmittance at wavelengths in the visible light region, substantially does not contain the above components.

[0046] The cations of Pb, Th, Cd, Tl, Os, Be and Se have a tendency to be controlled in recent years as harmful chemical substances, and environmental protection measures are necessary not only in the manufacturing process of glass, but also in the processing process and the disposal after productization. Therefore, in the case of paying attention to the impact on the environment, it is preferred that they are not actually contained except for the inevitable mixing. Thus, the optical glass does not actually contain substances that pollute the environment. Therefore, even if no special environmental countermeasures are taken, the optical glass of the present invention can be manufactured, processed and discarded.

[0047] Next, the properties of the optical glass of the present invention will be described.
