Tm(3+)-Yb(3+) codoped transparent oxyfluoride glass ceramics containing LaF(3) nanocrystals were obtained by thermal treatment on the as-made glasses. The formation of LaF(3) nanocrystals and the incorporation of Tm(3+) and Yb(3+) into LaF(3) nanocrystal lattice were confirmed by X-ray diffraction and
