Abstract

A glass material for mold pressing, comprised of a core portion and a covering portion. In one embodiment, the core portion comprises a multicomponent optical glass containing at least one readily reducible component selected from among W, Ti, Bi, and Nb and the covering portion comprises a multicomponent glass containing none or a lower quantity of the readily reducible component than is contained in the core portion. In another embodiment, the core portion comprises a fluorine-containing multicomponent optical glass, and the covering portion comprises a multicomponent glass containing none or a lower quantity of fluorine than is contained in the core portion. A method for manufacturing an optical glass element employing the above glass material that comprises heat softening a glass material that has been preformed into a prescribed shape, and conducting press molding with a pressing mold.
