    (GdxMyLu0.99-x-y3Al5O12:1%Ce3+x=0,0.01,0.25,0.5,0.75,y=0,0.005,0.01,0.02,0.05,0.1, M=Li+,Na+,K+,Cs+) series ceramic powders were synthesized by high temperature solid phase method. The microstructure of the sample was characterized by XRD, the excitation spectrum, emission spectrum and fluorescence lifetime of the sample were measured by FLS920 spectrometer, and the color coordinate of the sample was analyzed by the CIE chromaticity system. XRD results show that the Lu3Al5O12 samples co-doped with different concentrations of alkali metal ions、Gd3+ and Ce3+ are still cubic crystal phases, but with the increase of alkali metal ions, Gd3+ and Ce3+ doping concentrations, the diffraction peaks of the samples shift slightly to a small angle. Under the excitation of 350 nm, compared with the Lu2.97Al5O12:1%Ce3+ sample, the emission intensity of the sample co-doped with Gd3+ at around 511 nm decreased and appeared a significant red shift. With the increase of the doped Gd3+ concentration, the Ce3+ energy level lifetime gradually decreased. The range is 35~60 ns. Compared with the sample doped with 1%Ce3+ and 1%Gd3+, the luminescence intensity of the sample doped with 2%Li+, 2%Na+, 2%K+ and 1%Cs+ increased by 5.1 times and 2.93 times, respectively. At this time, the lifetime of Ce3+ in the sample continued to decrease. When the samples were irradiated under UV lamps with λ=254 nm and λ=365 nm, it was observed that with the increase of Gd3+ doping concentration, the color of the sample changed from dark yellow-green to dark red. The color coordinates show that the light-emitting area of the sample gradually moves from the yellow-green light area to the red light area. After co-doping with alkali metal ions, the sample emits brighter.
