New red emitting phosphors, Ca-3(VO4)(2):Eu3+,Bi3+, Ca-3((P,V)O-4)(2):Eu3+ were synthesized by low temperature solid-state reaction and characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, photoluminescence spectra and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results show that the red emission located at about 613 nm was ascribed to (5) D (0)-(7) F (2) transition of Eu3+. The effect of by Bi doping and by P doping was also investigated systematically.
