What is the quantum yield of rhodamine B?

Posted September 29, 2021


Answer

The quantum yield of rhodamine B is 0.31 in water where quantum yield refers to the ratio of the number of photons emitted divided by the number of photons absorbed.

Quantum yield measures the efficiency with which a fluorophore converts the excitation light into fluorescence. It is not dependent on instrument settings.
