Bioactive 13-93 glass fibers were doped with 0.2 and 2% mol of Eu3+ ions, and drawn using a traditional method. The study examined the degradation rate using the proposed optical method and to analyze the influence of the dopant on the degradation process. The fibers were immersed in SBF for 48 hours, with simultaneous and continuous measurement of the change in the luminescence spectrum (λexc.= 394 nm) at 611 nm. The morphology of the fibers was also investigated. Optical time constant analysis demonstrated that bioactive glass fibers doped with 2% moles of Eu3+ decomposed more slowly than 13-93_02Eu.
