摘要:
A manufacturing method for molded glass articles including glass optical elements such as high precision lenses not requiring grinding and polishing after press molding. The manufacturing method according to the invention is a method for manufacturing the molded glass articles having a higher surface precision with a high productivity by pressing a glass material in a stepwise manner constituted of some steps depending on a temperature condition of the glass material.
摘要:
An infrared transmitting chalcogenide glass lens having precision optical surfaces of different curvature radii is molded. A pair of molds having different curvature radiuses from each other, and a bushing which controls the thickness of the lens is provided. A block of chalcogenide glass is placed within the cavity. The upper mold, the lower mold and the block of glass are heated with the mold having a smaller curvature radius being at a higher temperature than the other mold. The glass is then pressed, cooled, and the resulting lens is removed from the mold assembly.
摘要:
An improved method of forming an optical element, wherein heated upper and lower molds are used in conjunction with radiation heating glass material placed in an optical forming surface of the lower mold. The molds are heated to a necessary temperature, then the glass material is heated by exposure to heat by radiation. The glass blank then is pressed between the upper and lower molds to transfer the optical forming surfaces of each mold to the glass material, and define the optically functional surfaces of an optical element.
摘要:
For manufacturing a glass article for precision-optical purposes, a preform is provided which is unwrought relating to the desired shape of the glass article to be manufactured and exhibits within the surface areas serving for the formation of optical effective planes a high surface quality. The preform is pressed at a sufficiently high temperature in a mold, the function layers of which, serving for the formation of the optical suitable planes are hard and wear resistant, optionally containing hard nitrides and/or carbides, being mechanically unwrought structureless thin layers coated by cathode sputtering, for example, on a working surface of the basis of the mold. At the beginning of the pressing process, the preform and at least one of the function layers of the mold exhibit a difference in temperature amounting at least to 30 K, but less than a value where inhomogeneities in and/or surface defects on the glass molding may be produced.

A preform for an optical element is provided which involves less amount of deformation of glass in molding, and readily improves lifetime of the mold. The present preform for molding an optical glass element 10 exhibits an almost circular shape having a predetermined diameter in top view, exhibits a flattened semicircular shape having a predetermined overall height in side view, has a concave face on the top surface such that the predetermined overall height is attained at approximately the central position of the aforementioned circular shape, and has a concave face so as to fit along the convex face of the top surface such that a space is provided on the bottom face. The under surface may be either a concave face or a convex face. Also, the top surface may be either a concave face or a convex face.
