New oxyfluoride glasses containing Eu3+ and Yb3+have been synthesized in the system SiO2–PbO–PbF2–CdF2 and their physical-chemical properties and the optical absorption and up-conversion of luminescence have been studied. Intense orange-red luminescence (color coordinates x = 0.64, y = 0.36) peaking near 612 nm was obtained by excitation in the IR range by a commercially available laser diode. This glass is promising for obtaining nano-phase luminescing glass-ceramics for use in up-conversion luminophores and solid-state lasers.
