摘要:
Precision glass molds are described, which are formed by coating a mold made from high purity, fme grain sized graphite, with a coating including titanium. In various implementations, the titanium coating is overcoated with yttria (Y2O3) to provide a high precision glass mold of superior performance character. The resultant glass molds can be used to form glass articles having a highly smooth finish, for high precision applications such as consumer electronic device applications, medical instruments, and optical devices. The use of high purity, fme grain size graphite allows molds to be machined at low cost, thereby eliminating the need to fabricate a metal mold that must be coated with multiple layers including metal diffusion barrier layers to meet operational requirements for such precision applications.

摘要:
An axially symmetrical molded glass lens has a central longitudinal axis, a lens surface, an annular intermediate area and a mounting flange area. The lens surface is axially symmetric around the central longitudinal axis and is curved. The annular intermediate area is curved and axially symmetric, is formed around the lens surface and has a radius of curvature having a continuously vary modulus that decreases as the radius of curvature approaches the annular intermediate area. The mounting flange area is formed around and connects smoothly to the annular intermediate area. The axially symmetrical molded glass lens has fine precision, a high production rate and a low cost.

A method of manufacturing an optical element, such as an objective lens, by heat-softening optical glass and press molding it with high precision in a pressing mold. The method comprises press-molding a molding material with a pressing device, comprising a pair of molds with prescribed shape, to make a molded article, measuring an optical property of the molded article, correcting pressing rate of at least one of the pressing molds based on the optical property thus measured, and further press-molding to make a molded article with the corrected pressing rate. The device has a means of driving one of the pair of pressing molds at a prescribed rate, a means for detecting an optical property, a shape or a number of the molded articles, and a means for controlling driving of the means of driving by correcting pressing rate of the molds based on the detected property, shape or number.
