Spectroscopic studies of rhodamine 6G dispersed in polymethylcyanoacrylate

We report here electronic absorption, fluorescence and resonance Raman studies of rhodamine 6G laser dye dispersed in the polymethylcyanoacrylate matrix. In the electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra of dispersed rhodamine 6G, band maxima are red shifted compared to solution. Raman spectra show some new bands. These spectral changes arise due to matrix effect and interaction between rhodamine 6G and the host material involving amine group of rhodamine.
