Description: Luminiscence spectra of calcite activators
Eu3+ and Mn2+, which is most common of them and also the most intense, glows in red range while Ce3+ and Pb2+ emits in the UV range.
Note that none of them have the peak in 450-500 nm blue range, only radiation-induced center shows some low intensity in violet-blue range.
