Abstract Rare earth ion-doped fluorescent glass has become a hotspot due to its characteristics. This work shows that the prepared Dy3+ and Dy3+/Eu3+ doped glasses have white light emission under ultraviolet excitation. There is a higher yellow light/blue light (Y/B) value, indicating an increase in the covalentity of Dy–O, and decrease in the symmetry with the increasing concentration of dopants (Dy3+). The correlated color temperature (CCT) can be effectively reduced by the red light emission of Eu3+, and the order of influence of excitation wavelength on CCT is 395 nm > 382 nm > 365 nm. The delay curve demonstrates the energy transfer from Dy3+ to Eu3+. The glass has the characteristics of anti-blue light damage and wide tunable color temperature, which illustrates that it has potential application in the field of white LED.
