Abstract: K$_5$GdLi$_2$F$_{10}$ compound doped with Tb$^{3+}$ and Eu$^{3+}$ was synthetized. The excited states of these lanthanide ions were analyzed up to VUV range at 125,000 cm$^{−1}$ (80 nm). Strong coupling between terbium and europium was found. The energy transfer processes from terbium to europium mainly depend on fast migration. The lifetime of $^5$D$_4$ multiplet in the presence of europium is shorter by about 30% in comparison to singly doped terbium compounds. The character of the decay curve of the $^5$D$_4$ multiplet is mono-exponential. Non-exponential character was discovered in the case of $^5$D$_1$ europium multiplet in the presence of terbium. The nature of this quenching was determined to be dipole-dipole interaction with critical distance 9.96 Å. The energy transfer is temperature dependent.
