The 2BiO-3GeO/SiO glass samples have been prepared by the conventional melt quenching technique. XRD patterns, absorption spectra, excitation-emission spectra and Raman measurements were utilized to characterize the synthesized glasses. When substitute SiO for GeO, the 0.4BiO-(0.4-0.1)GeO-(0.2-0.5)SiO glasses exhibit strong emission centered at about 475nm (under 300nm excitation), and the decay constants are within the scope of 20-40ns. W doping into 2BiO-3SiO glass could increase the emission intensity of 470nm, and the W-doped 2BiO-3SiO glass has shown another emission at about 433nm with much shorter decay time (near 10ns). The 2BiO-3GeO/SiO glass system could be the possible candidate for scintillator in high energy physics applications.
