NaLa(WO{sub 4}){sub 2} powders doped with Eu{sup 3+}, Nd{sup 3+}, and Er{sup 3+} have been synthesized by a mild hydrothermal method and a crystal of exclusive scheelite phase could be obtained at low temperature. From the spectrum of Eu{sup 3+} it has been concluded that the dopant Eu{sup 3+} ion occupies a La{sup 3+} site and mainly takes the site with C{sub 2} symmetry. The higher quenching concentration can be observed in the Eu{sup 3+}-doped NaLa(WO{sub 4}){sub 2} powders. The Er{sup 3+}- and Nd{sup 3+}-doped NaLa(WO{sub 4}){sub 2} powders exhibit luminescence in the near infrared (Er{sup 3+} at 1550nm, and Nd{sup 3+} at 1060nm). The transition mechanism of the up-conversion luminescence of the Er{sup 3+}-doped NaLa(WO{sub 4}){sub 2} powders can be ascribed to two photons absorption process.
