Monazite-type polyphosphate CaLaP{sub 3}O{sub 10} was synthesized by solid-state reaction at 1000 deg. C and their photoluminescence of Eu{sup 3+} and Tb{sup 3+} in CaLaP{sub 3}O{sub 10} under ultraviolet (UV) and vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) excitation were evaluated for the first time. The emission spectra of CaLaP{sub 3}O{sub 10}:Eu{sup 3+}showed that Eu{sup 3+} are in a site with inversion symmetry because the magnetic dipole transition {sup 5} D {sub 0}-{sup 7} F {sub 1} was the strongest both upon 254 and 147 nm excitation. Monitored at 621 nm the excitation spectra consisted of host absorption bands, charge transfer band of Eu-O and the intraconfiguration 4f {sup 6} transition of Eu{sup 3+}. Green phosphor CaLaP{sub 3}O{sub 10}:Tb{sup 3+}exhibited better color purity when excited by 147 nm than that excited by 254 nm. With monitored at 542 nm the host absorption bands of CaLaP{sub 3}O{sub 10}:Tb{sup 3+} were also observed. Besides the host absorption bands there were strong f-d and weak f-f transitions of Tb{sup 3+}. - Graphical abstract: Excitation spectra of CaLa{sub 0.85}P{sub 3}O{sub 10}:0.15Eu{sup 3+} ({lambda} {sub em}=620 nm)
