Dyes molecules are widely used for imaging, lasing and coloring application thus increasing the photostability and decreasing the quenching rate are very crucial. One way to deal with mentioned problems is embedding dye molecules in the environment, which increase thermal diffusion and also hinder the aggregation. A two-phase medium such as emulsion is an ideal system due to their ability to enhance the solubility and also decrease the dimerization of dye molecules. In this study two Xanthene type dyes ( Rhodamine B and Fluorescein sodium salt) are dissolved in a water-in-oil microemulsion. The optical activity of both dyes were examined using their fluorescence and absorption spectrum. Rhodamine B (RhB) florescence activity enhanced in microemulsion solution compare that of in water solution, which can be attributed to a decrease in dimerization. The opposite trend was observed for Fluorescein sodium salt, the difference between the behavior of RhB and FSS is linked to their solubility in water. We additionally, used Lippert-Mataga equation to calculate the change of dipole moments in the ground and exacted states.
