Abstract
Abstract Optical components can be pressed with such a precision that grinding and polishing of the formed components is not necessary, from glasses containing 45-55 wt. % P 2 O 5 , 3.5-9 wt. % Al 2 O 3 , 5-20 wt. % K 2 O, 0-3 wt. % Li 2 O, 8-15% BaO, 4.5-9 wt. % ZnO, 0-6 wt. % MgO, 0-18 wt. % PbO, 0-1 wt. % SiO 2 , 0-3 wt. % B 2 O 3 , 0-2 wt. % TiO 2 .
