The solvent effect in a series of polar and non-polar solvents of varying dielectric constants and refractive indices has been investigated by studying electronic spectra (S$_1$band) of a series of exalite laser dyes at room temperature (25$\pm$1$\^{C}$). These data are used to determine the magnitude ($\mu$$\_$e/) and direction ($\theta$) of the electric dipole moments in the first electronically excited state. The results indicate that the observed band systems in these compounds may be attributed to ←$\pi$ transition.
