This invention discloses a high-refractive-index
optical glass and its applications. The high-refractive-index
optical glass material is prepared from the following oxides in
molar percentages: 0.1-1.0 mol.% Al2O3, 0.1-1.0 mol.% B2O3, 10-21 mol.% GeO2, 0-1.0 mol.% Na2O, 5-10 mol.% BaO, 5-10 mol.% ZnO, 1-7 mol.% ZrO2, 20-30 mol.% TiO2, 15-25 mol.% La2O3, 5-10 mol.% Ga2O3, 1-5 mol.% Nb2O5, 10-20 mol.% Bi2O3, 0.1-5 mol.% WO3, and 0.1-5 mol.% Gd2O3. The high-refractive-index
optical glass of the present invention has the following advantages: its
refractive index is greater than 2.0, it does not contain any of the heavy
metal oxides that are harmful to the environment, such as As2O3, Sb2O3, PbO, Tl2O, CdO, BeO, etc., and it has excellent
chemical stability and optical uniformity. The present invention also provides an application of the high-refractive-index optical glass in wearable AR devices.
