Abstract
The decay time of fluorescence from the Mn2+ ion has been measured in a wide range of inorganic glasses. The decay times are of the same order as those found in oxide phosphors and the decay is exponential in many phosphate glasses. The results are discussed on the basis of the structure of the glass with particular reference to phosphate glasses.
