AB  - The interaction of dyes with a sulfonated Gemini surfactant was investigated in 
      aqueous solution using Forster resonance energy transfer with acridine orange 
      (AO) as a donor and rhodamine B (RhB) as an acceptor. Surface tension results 
      showed that AO and RhB have different effects on the self-assembly of the Gemini 
      surfactant, with AO giving a higher critical micelle concentration (cmc) and 
      lower surface tension, while the opposite was observed for RhB. Energy transfer 
      from AO to RhB was observed in the presence of the surfactant, and the energy 
      transfer efficiency initially improved with increased surfactant concentration 
      but then decreased significantly when the surfactant reached a higher 
      concentration due to the formation of larger aggregates, which increased the 
      average distance between AO and RhB. Dynamic light scattering demonstrated the 
      existence of these large aggregates. Moreover, simulations using dissipative 
      particle dynamics supported the experimental results.
