In this work, the luminescent properties of Sb 3+ /Mn 2+ codoped 60P 2 O 5 -40MgO glass are presented. White light photoluminescence combining blue and orange-red light was observed under ultraviolet light excitation. The emission spectra showed that the blue emission intensity of Sb 3+ decreased significantly whereas the red emission intensity of Mn 2+ increased with the increasing concentration of Mn 2+ ions. Meanwhile, by maintaining the concentration of MnO (2.0 mol%) and increasing concentration of Sb 2 O 3 , both the blue emission and red emission were enhanced remarkably. The energy transfer from Sb 3+ to Mn 2+ ions via the dipole-quadrupole interaction was confirmed.
