CaAl2Si2O8: Eu2+, Mn2+ phosphors have been prepared by a sol–gel method. X-ray diffractometer, spectrofluorometer and UV–Vis spectrometer were used to characterize structural and optical properties of the samples. The results indicate that anorthite (CaAl2Si2O8) directly crystallizes at 1000 ¡ãC in the sol–gel process. CaAl2Si2O8: Eu2+, Mn2+ phosphors show two emission bands excited by ultraviolet light. Blue (around 415 nm) and yellow (around 575 nm) emissions originate from Eu2+ and Mn2+, respectively. With appropriate tuning of Mn2+ content, CaAl2Si2O8: Eu2+, Mn2+ phosphors exhibit different hues and relative color temperatures.
