Abstract: A glass material with low refractive index and radiation resistance, method for preparing the same, and applications thereof. The glass material consists of the following components by mole percent: 60-80% SiO2, 2-10% B2O3, 0.1-1% CeO2, 5-10% Na2O, 2-10% K2O, 1-8% Al2O3, 0-2% CaF2, 0-1% As2O3, and 1-5% alkaline earth metal oxides, wherein the alkaline earth metal oxides are selected from at least one of BaO, SrO, CaO, and MgO. The glass material has a refractive index of ?1.47, a glass transition temperature of ?550° C., a yield point temperature of ?645° C., a softening point temperature of ?748° C., and a coefficient of thermal expansion of (82-87)×10?7/° C. After exposure to a 4700 Gy dose of X-ray radiation, the transmittance decreases by ?2%. The glass material can be used as cladding glass material for the preparation of optical glass fibers and fiber panels, capable of meeting the requirements for radiation environment applications.
