Reflectivity and fluorescence excitation spectra and fluorescence decays of CeF{sub 3} and LaF{sub 3}:Ce have been recorded and analyzed in the VUV range up to 120 eV and in the X-ray region using the synchrotron radiation. Dominant mechanisms are identified in various regions of excitation, leading to different shapes of the excitation spectra and typical profiles of the decay curves. Strong difference in the light yield of fluorides and oxides are shown and discussed in terms of relative energies of levels of cerium and of the valence and conduction bands of the solid compounds.
