Abstract

A method for preparing a barium lanthanum silicate oxyapatite europium activated phosphor and a barium lanthanum silicate oxyapatite manganese 2+ and europium 2+ or europium 2+ activated phosphor having a yellow green emission when activated by 254 nm excitation comprises the steps of forming a water slurry of the raw materials followed by calcining at approximately 1050.degree. C. to form a powder. The powder is then heated to approximately 1500.degree. C. in a reducing atmosphere to form the phosphor having a yellow green emission activated by a 254 nm excitation. Fluorescent lamps containing the yellow green emitting phosphors are described.
