Oxyfluoride glasses are the basic materials for obtaining transparent glass-ceramic (TGC) which can be used in a wide range of optoelectronics devices such as: amplifiers, up-conversion, telescopes, laser sources. Oxyfluoride TGC is obtained by the control heat treatment of the parent glass due to low phonon nanocrystalline phases. The oxyfluoride glasses from the sodium-lead-silica system were the object of investigation. The influence of fluoride content on the thermal properties of glasses was analyzed. Thermal characteristics of glasses like the transition temperature T g , the temperature for the crystallization onset T x , and the maximum crystallization temperature T c , thermal stability parameter were determined by DTA/DSC method. The linear expansion coefficients of oxyfluoride glasses as a function of temperature were measured using a thermomechanical analyzer (TMA 7 Perkin-Elmer). The effect of crystallization on the thermal expansion coefficient and softening temperature T s was found.
