Abstract

Abstract A step-type light-transmitting body having excellent water resistance, said light-transmitting body comprising a core material of a glass having the following composition in % by weight: (1) SiO 2 15-40, (2) ZrO 2 8-17, (3) B 2 O 3 5-15, (4) BaO 30-45, (5) Na 2 O 3-15, as essential ingredients, and (6) GeO 2 0-30, TiO 2 0-3, Al 2 O 3 0-5, La 2 O 3 0-5, MgO 0-5, CaO 0-7, ZnO 0-7, SrO 0-5, Li 2 O 0-8, K 2 O 0-10, Rb 2 O 0-5, and Cs 2 O 0-8, as additional ingredients; provided that SiO 2 +GeO 2 15-50, ZrO 2 +BaO 38-55, Na 2 O+Li 2 O+K 2 O+Rb 2 O+Cs 2 O 5-15, and MgO+CaO+ZnO+SrO+TiO 2 +Al 2 O 3 +La 2 O 3 0-12. In the above composition, the amounts of (2) ZrO 2 , (3) B 2 O 3 , (5) Na 2 O and ZrO 2 + BaO may be changed to 8-15, 7-12, 5-12, and 38-50, respectively.
