A　simple　and　rapid　solution　route　has　been　proposed　to　deposit　dense,　adherent,　mirror-like　Eu:YVO4　film.　Structure　(XRD),　morphological　(TEM),　and　optical　(UV-Vis-NIR　and　PL)　characterizations　of　the　films　were　presented.　It　was　confirmed　that　the　well-crystallized　Eu:YVO4　films　with　(200)　preferential　orientation　consisting　of　nano-size　grains　were　successfully　prepared　by　the　microwave　irradiation　assisted　chemical　bath　deposition　techniques.　The　optical　properties　indicated　the　characteristic　strong　emmission　of　Eu3+　(D0-F2)-D-5-F-7　in　the　as-prepared　crystalline　Eu:YVO4　film　under　UV　excitation,　due　to　an　efficient　energy　transfer　from　the　VO43-　group　to　Eu3+　ions.
