RhodamineB under different Environments

RhodamineB belongs to the Xanthene group of laser dyes.It can be tuned around 610nm. The tunable range of a dye laser depends on the solventto some extentdue to the change in fluorescence spectrum of dye.This indicates that some type of interaction takes place between laser dye and solvent.Moreover water impurities enter the dye solution with the passage of time.Therefore it is also important to investigate the effect of water impurity on the laser dye. Further laser dye embedded in the solid matrix interacts with the host material.The present book represents the effect of all the above said environments on RhodamineB.
