We demonstrate the controlled preparation of Er‐ and Eu‐doped GaP‐oxide porous composites. The fabrication procedure entails the use of porous semiconductor templates and the impregnation of rare earth ions from a rare earth salt solution in alcohol and thermal treatment. The composites exhibit strong green and red emission that comes from finely dispersed ErPO 4 and EuPO 4 oxide submicron phases in the composite. These materials may prove useful in future generations of optoelectronic and photonic devices. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
