Blue Shifts and Refractive Index of Rhodamine 6G doped Polycarbonate

Abstract

UV‐visible absorption studies and refractive index measurements at wavelengths of 458, 492.2 , 499, 546, 589, 632.8 , 659.2, 670.2 nanometers were taken of Rhodamine 6G doped Poly(carbonate) films. The absorption studies on the PC‐ Rhodamine composites showed blue shifts for samples at concentrations of 0.01,0.05,0.1,0.5 % of Rhodamine 6G suggesting the formation of nanoparticles. The optical dispersion of the poly(carbonate) was satisfactorily given by the Schott equation.
