- The spontaneous fluorescence rates of single-molecule emitters are typically on the order of nanoseconds. However coupling them with plasmonic nanostructures can substantially increase their fluorescence yields. The confinement between the tip and sample of a scanning tunneling microscope creates a tunable nanocavity, an ideal platform for exploring the yields and excitation decay rates of single-molecule emitters depending on the coupling strength to the nanocavity. With this setup we estimate the excitation lifetimes from the direct time-resolved measurements of the fluorescence decays of phthalocyanine adsorbates, decoupled from the metal substrates by ultrathin NaCl layers. It is found that nanosecond-range lifetimes prevail for the emitters away from the nanocavity, whereas for the tip approached to a molecule, we find a substantial effect of the nanocavity coupling, which reduces the lifetimes to a few picoseconds. An analysis is performed to investigate the crossover between the far-field and tip-enhanced photoluminescence regimes. This approach overcomes the drawbacks associated with the estimation of lifetimes for single molecules from their respective emission linewidths.
