Photoluminescence characteristics of the undoped and Bi3+-doped lanthanide niobates are investigated by the steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy methods in a wide temperature range of 4.2e500 K. The broad visible emission bands with the large Stokes shifts are found to arise from the triplet relaxed excited states characterized by a small (~1 meV) spin-orbit splitting energy. This indicates the exciton-like origin of all the observed emission bands. The data allow to conclude that the Bi3+-related triplet relaxed excited state is located inside the conduction band. No ultraviolet emission caused by the radiative decay of the triplet relaxed excited state of a Bi3+ ion is observed.
