$Tb^{3+}$ or $Eu^{3+}$ or $Ce^{3+}$-doped $CaYAlO_4$ phosphor were synthesized by solid-state method. $CaYAlO_4:Tb^{3+}$ is shown that the $Tb^{3+}$-doping concentration has a significant effect on the $^5D_4/^5D_3{\rightarrow}7F_J$ (J=6,...,0) emission intensity of $Tb^{3+}$. The $CaYAlO_4:Tb^{3+}$ phosphors show tunable photoluminescence from blue to yellow with the change of doping concentration of $Tb^{3+}$ ions. The $CaYAlO_4:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors exhibit a red-orange emission of $Eu^{3+}$ corresponding to $^5D_0$, $_{1,2}{\rightarrow}^7F_J$ (J=4,...,0) transitions. The $CaYAlO_4:Ce^{3+}$ phosphors show a blue emission due to $Ce^{3+}$ ions transitions from the 5d excited state to the $^2F_{5/2}$ and $^2F_{7/2}$ ground states. The decay time of $CaYAlO_4:Tb^{3+}$ phosphors decrease from 1.33 ms to 0.97 ms as $Tb^{3+}$ concentration increases from 0.1 mol% to 7 mol%. The decay time of $CaYAlO_4:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors increase from 0.94 ms to 1.17 ms as $Eu^{3+}$ concentration increases from 1 mol% to 9 mol%.

A different route to the synthesis of $Eu^{3+}$ - activated matrices such as $YAlO_{3}$ and $GdAlO_{3}$ and luminiscent properties of these compounds, were studied. The new route (Combustion method) consist of the redox reactions between the respective metal nitrates and urea in a preheated furnace at ${500^{\circ}C}$. The Phosphor thus obtained were then heated at ${1000^{\circ}C}$ for 2-3 hours to get better luminiscent properties. The incorporation of $Eu^{3+}$ activator in these phosphors were checked by luminiscence investigations. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies were carried out to understand surface morphological features and the particle size. X-ray energy dispersive analysis (EDAX) was also performed for the qualitative analysis of the phosphors.
