The absorption, cathodoluminescence, excitation spectra of photoluminescence (PL) and PL decay kinetics were studied at 300 K for the double Bi3+–Ce3+-doped and separately Bi3+- and Ce3+-doped Y3Al5O12 (YAG) and Lu3Al5O12 (LuAG) single crystalline film phosphors grown by liquid phase epitaxy method. Emission bands in the UV range arising from the intrinsic radiative transitions of Bi3+-based centers, and emission bands in the visible range related to the luminescence of excitons localized around Bi-based centers, were identified in both Bi–Ce and Bi-doped YAG and LuAG SCF. Energy transfers from the host lattice to Bi3+ and Ce3+ ions and from Bi3+ to Ce3+ ions were investigated. Competition between Bi3+ and Ce3+ ions in the energy transfer from the YAG and LuAG hosts was evidenced.
