Transparent glass-ceramic composites embedded with Ln-fluoride nanocrystals are prepared in this work to enhance the upconversion luminescence of Tm3+. The crystalline phases, microstructures, and photoluminescence properties of samples are carefully investigated. KYb3F10 nanocrystals are proved to controllably precipitate in the glass-ceramics via the inducing of Yb3+ when the doping concentration varies from 0.5 to 1.5 mol%. Pure near-infrared upconversion emissions are observed and the emission intensities are enhanced in the glass-ceramics as compared to in the precursor glass due to the incorporation of Tm3+ into the KYb3F10 crystal structures via substitutions for Yb3+. Furthermore, KYb2F7 crystals are also nano-crystallized in the glass-ceramics when the Yb3+ concentration exceeds 2.0 mol%. The upconversion emission intensity of Tm3+ is further enhanced by seven times as Tm3+ enters the lattice sites of pure KYb2F7 nanocrystals. The designed glass ceramics provide efficient gain materials for optical applications in the biological transmission window. Moreover, the controllable nano-crystallization strategy induced by Yb3+ opens a new way for engineering a wide range of functional nanomaterials with effective incorporation of Ln3+ ions into fluoride crystal structures.

Transparent oxyflouride glass ceramics composed of SiO2–Al2O3–Na2O–NaF–YF3 tri-coped with Nd3+/Yb3+/Ho3+ were prepared by thermal treatment. Segregation of NaYF4 nanocrystals in the matrix was confirmed from structural analysis by means of X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Compared with glass samples, very strong green upconversion (UC) luminescence due to the Ho3+:(4F5, 5S2)→5I8 transition was observed in the glass ceramics under 808 nm excitation. It was found that upconversion intensity of Ho3+ strongly depends on the Nd3+ concentration, and the energy transfer process from Nd3+ to Ho3+ via Yb3+ was proposed.
