Nd3+doped strontium fluorophosphate (S‐FAP), with chemical formula Sr5(PO4)3F, nanopowders were prepared using the co‐precipitation method. The prepared powders had no impurity phase with a grain size of about 30 nm and the doping limit of Nd3+ions in strontium fluorophosphate is about 9 at.%. The morphology and particle size were determined by the doping concentration of Nd3+. Anisotropic Nd: S‐FAP transparent ceramics with different Nd3+doping concentrations were fabricated successfully by the simple hot‐pressing method. The grain size of prepared S‐FAP transparent ceramics decreased first and then increased with the increase of Nd3+concentration. The 2 at.% Nd: S‐FAP ceramic presented the highest optical transmittance at all wavelengths range. The characteristic transitions from the ground state to the excited states of Nd3+ions were observed from the absorption spectra, and the absorption cross‐section was calculated at 3.71 × 10–20cm2. The influence of Nd3+ion concentration on luminescence intensity and fluorescence lifetime was studied under 796 nm excitation. The strong emission of4F3/2→4I9/2transition in Nd: S‐FAP was calculated by Judd–Ofelt (J‐O) theory.
