Oxyfluoride glasses 49SiO2·6Al2O3·24Li2O·20LaF3 activated with Tb, Ce, Eu have been synthesized and studied. After heating at 580°C and 750°C crystalline phases were obtained. The samples were studied by DTA (Differential thermal analyzer), CL (cathodoluminescence), XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (scanning electron microscope), EDS (energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy) methods. We found out that presence of crystalline phase enhances the CL of Tb activated samples significantly; whereas, the shortest decay time of 0.29 μs has been observed for less intense Ce doped glass sample.
