Abstract

We present for the first time cavity‐controlled fluorescence spectra and decay curves of single dipole emitters interacting at room temperature with the first longitudinal mode of a Fabry–Perot microcavity offering a λ__/2‐spacing between its silver mirrors. The spontaneous emission rate of individual dye molecules was found to be enhanced by the Purcell effect by up to three times compared to the rate in free space, in agreement with theoretical predictions. Moreover, our new microcavity design was found to provide long‐term stability and single‐molecule sensitivity under ambient conditions for several months without noticeable reduction of the cavity‐Q value. We consider this as a significant advance for single‐photon sources operating at room temperature.__

Using fluorescence excitation spectroscopy single pentacene molecules were studied under a microscope at a temperature of 1.8 K. The microscope has a resolution of 3 pm and allows the location of a single emitting molecule with an accuracy of 0.5 pm, in a total viewing field of 235 pmx 175 pm. 133 i

The fluorescence behavior of a well-known pH-reporter molecule diluted in an aqueous gel is described at the single-molecule level. Single copies of the pH-sensitive seminaphthorhodafluor SNARF-1-dextran were immobilized in the pores of agarose gels at different pH in the range 6-9. This probe shows
