Photoacoustic studies on excitation transfer in Rh6G and RhB dye mixture

Abstract

The photoacoustic spectra of Rhodamine 6G (Rh6G), Rhodamine B (RhB) dyes and their mixtures were recorded at different concentrations. It is observed that in the mixture the photoacoustic signal increases due to excitation transfer from Rh6G to RhB in the wavelength region 480-530 nm. The excitation transfer rate estimated from these data show that resonance is dominant rather than the collisional transfer process. © 1984 Indian Academy of Sciences.
