Abstract：A series of Sn2+, Dy3+ and Sn2+-Dy3+ co-doped fluorophosphate glasses (FPGs) for white light emitting phosphor have been prepared by the melt quenching method. Under the UV light excitation, FPG: Sn2+ and FPG∶Dy3+ can obtain blue and yellow light, respectively. The emission color of FPG∶Sn2+-Dy3+ can be tuned from blue to white color by properly adjusting the concentration of Dy3+ ions under the excitation of 280 nm UV light, which can be attributed to the energy transfer from Sn2+ to Dy3+ ions. The energy transfer mechanism was investigated and analyzed according to the photoluminescence, lifetime decay and CIE chromaticity coordinate. In addition, the FPG∶Sn2+fluorophosphate glass shows the highest color rendering index of 94 and the quantum efficiency of 81.3%, and the Sn2+-Dy3+ co-doped fluorophosphate glasses show better white color coordinates. By controlling the concentration of Dy3+, the FPGs can present a white light with a CIE chromaticity coordinate of (0.311, 0.330), which is very close to the equal energy point. The corresponding quantum efficiency and the luminance are 56.3% and 6 706 cd·m-2, respectively. The results of this study demonstrate that the FPGs are promising candidate for commercial white light emitting applications.
