The luminescence spectra of Cr3+ and Eu3+ ions embedded in mullite ceramic samples are studied. The samples were annealed at temperatures from 600 to 1200°C. From the temperature of 800°C, the spectra demonstrated the presence of a newly-formed crystal phase. The appearing of the crystalline phase is revealed by significant changes in some parameters of the luminescence spectrum. At temperatures from 920 to 1200°C, the crystalline form manifested itself as a stable mullite phase.
