We synthesized oxyfluoride glass-ceramics containing CaF
2nanocrystals doped with Tm
3+and Nd
3+ions and conducted a spectroscopic investigation of the energy transfer between doped ions.
The emission intensity was improved in the glass ceramics due to the CaF
2nanocrystals. Energy transfers between Tm
3+ions and from Tm
3+to Nd
3+ions were investigated by exciting Tm
3+- doped and Tm
3+/Nd
3+-codoped glass ceramics at 470 nm and by using excitation spectra and time-resolved photoluminescence of Tm
3+ions at 650 nm and Nd
3+ions at 670 nm. We also confirmed the energy transfer from the
3H
4level of Tm
3+ions to the
4F
5/2level of Nd
3+ions in the emission spectrum.
