The SrAl2O4∶Eu2+, Nd3+ and SrAl2O4∶Eu2+, Dy3+ long afterglow phosphor were synthesized. Their excitation and emission spectra at different excitation and afterglow characteristics were analyzed after the excitation power was taken off. The effects of Eu2+, Dy3+, Nd3+ mole concentrations on phosphorescence characteristics were also discussed. It is crucial to have trapping levels located at a suitable depth related to the thermal release rate at room temperature. The incorporation of Nd3+ ions as an auxiliary activator into the SrAl2O4∶Eu2+ system causes very intense and long phosphorescence. The response time of SrAl2O4∶Eu2+, Dy3+ phosphors is quicker than that of SrAl2O4∶Eu2+, Nd3+. Phosphorescence characteristics of SrAl2O4∶Eu2+, Nd3+ is much better than those of SrAl2O4∶Eu2+, Dy3+. The integrate area of the excitation spectrum of SrAl2O4∶Eu2+, Nd3+ phosphor is larger than that of SrAl2O4∶Eu2+, Dy3+ phosphor within the range of 250～360 nm. For phosphorescence characteristics to the system of SrAl2O4∶Eu2+, Nd3+ phosphor, the optimum concentration of Nd3+ trivalent rare earth ions is 0.05 mol.
