BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The spectral sensitivities of image pickup tubes or solid-state image sensors used in conventional color imaging equipment range widely from the visible region to the near-infrared region. For this reason, a near-infrared absorption filter that absorbs 800 to 900 nm in the near-infrared region and transmits the visible region to correct the visibility to normal visibility has become an indispensable optical component. Glass for such a filter must have a large absorption coefficient in a wavelength range of 800 nm or more, and high transmittance in a wavelength range of 400 to 70 nm.

Such glass can be obtained by adding CuO to phosphate glass. That is, the wavelength is 800
When Cu2+, which has an absorption band around nm, exists in a glass mainly composed of P2O, it will sufficiently absorb light in the wavelength range of 800 to 1000 nm, and exhibit high transmittance in the visible range centered on the wavelength of 500 nm. It is known that glass with However, since this glass is made of P2O, which has strong hygroscopic properties, it is difficult to obtain sufficient water resistance and weather resistance for normal use. If used for a long period of time, the glass surface will change in quality and the optical properties will deteriorate. Special Publication No. 60-49142 and Special Publication No. 63-2
There are glasses with improved water resistance and weather resistance, such as in Japanese Patent No. 5245.

Problem H that the invention aims to solve is that in order to improve the chemical durability of glass, it is sufficient to introduce a compound that has good chemical durability and forms a part of the glass structure into the basic glass composition. It has been known. For example, A1■03 is very effective in such cases. At the same time, reducing the content of alkaline components in the glass composition is also effective in improving chemical durability. Such a method is also used in the above-mentioned publication. However, since a large amount of A12O3 is introduced or the content of the alkali component is extremely reduced, the melting temperature becomes high, making it difficult to defoam and homogenize the glass. On the other hand, Cu2“ contained in this glass
tends to change to Cu" at high temperatures, and in that case, the absorption coefficient in the near-infrared region decreases, making it impossible to obtain sufficient optical performance. In other words, in order to improve chemical durability, If a conventional approach using a glass composition with a high melting temperature is used, there is a tendency for the glass composition to change to Cu2+ or Cu'', thereby degrading the optical properties.
