The synthesis of pure and rare-earth doped gallium oxide (${\beta}-Ga_2O_3$) nanoparticles is reported. The synthesized nanoparticles are characterized with XRD, TEM, and PL analyses. Strong blue emission is observed from un-doped gallium oxide nanoparticles, while nanoparticles doped with $Eu^{3+}$ and $Tb^{3+}$ give strong red and green emissions, respectively. When doped with $Eu^{3+}$ and $Tb^{3+}$ together, gallium oxide nanoparticles emit white light. The CIE coordinate of the emitted light was found to be (0.33, 0.33), which is well within the white light region.
