In this paper, we report on the absorption and photoluminescence properties of Tm3+/Dy3+ions co-doped oxyfluoride germanate glasses for white light emission. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) profiles of the host glass have been carried out to confirm its structure and thermal stability. From the measured absorption spectra, Judd–Ofelt (J–O) intensity parameters (Ω2, Ω4and Ω6) have been evaluated for Tm3+and Dy3+ions. A combination of blue, yellow and red emissions has emerged in these glasses, which allows the observation of bright white light when the glasses are excited by the ultraviolet light. The white light luminescence colour could be changed by varying the excitation wavelength. Also, various colours of luminescence, including white light, can be easily tuned by adjusting the concentrations of Tm3+or Dy3+ions in the co-doped glasses. Concentration quenching effect was also investigated and possible energy transfer mechanism from Dy3+→Tm3+ions was explained which is also confirmed by the decay lifetime measurements.
