In the article there are presented two different series of glass: fluorophosphate with molar composition: 65P_2O_5-8Al_2O_3-2BaO-5BaF_2-6ZnF_2-5Na_2O-6MgF_2-3B_2O_3 and antimony glasses 40Sb_2O_3-3Al_2O_3-57SiO_2 doped with Nd^{3+} and Yb^{3+} ions. Dopant contents influence efficient spatial overlapping of emission level for neodymium and absorption level for ytterbium was analyzed. While exciting the produced glasses with a laser diode (λ = 808 nm) a broad luminescence spectrum (Δλ = 100 nm) has been obtained in both cases in the vicinity of 1 μm, being the superposition of the following transitions: ^4F_{3/2} → {^4I_{11/2}} for Nd^{3+} and ^2F_{5/2} → {^2F_{7/2}} for Yb^{3+}. Based on the luminescence measurements the probability of non-radiative energy transfer was described. Because of a small difference in energy ( ≈1190 cm^{-1}) between the laser levels of neodymium and ytterbium the resonant process of energy transfer has been obtained.
