Eu3+　doped　Li3Ba2La3(WO4)8　red　phosphors　were　synthesized　by　the　solid　state　reaction　method.　A　pure　phase　was　confirmed　by　the　X-ray　diffraction　pattern.　Diffuse　reflection　spectra,　photoluminescence　spectra,　decay　curves,　quantum　yields,　and　temperature-dependence　luminescence　spectra　were　measured.　The　Eu3+　ions　can　substitute　the　La3+　ions　completely　without　decreasing　the　emission　intensity　obviously　and　the　quantum　yields　can　keep　at　about　95%.　The　activation　energy　from　the　bottom　of　5D0level　to　the　5D0-charge　transfer　state　crossover　is　0.24eV.　All　the　results　indicate　that　the　Eu3+　doped　Li3Ba2La3(WO4)8　can　serve　as　a　near　ultraviolet　excited　red　phosphor　for　white　light　emitting　diodes.　©　2015　Optical　Society　of　America.
