We report the observation of up to 5 Rabi cycles in a single molecule. A pi-pulse excitation is achieved with 500 photons, marking an important step towards preparation of coherent superposition states with few photons.
We show experimentally that the signal-to-noise ratio of extinction detection can be advantageous to fluorescence measurements of a single molecule. We discuss the prospects of detecting weak emitters such as rare earth ions.
Efficient coupling of laser to single quantum emitters is achieved via near- and far-field techniques. Direct detection of 11.5% extinction and the first direct measurement of the Mollow triplet in solid state system are demonstrated.
In this paper direct measurements of light extinction by single molecules are reported. We use both near-field aperture tips and confocal microscopy at cryogenic temperature to tightly confine the excitation light to an area comparable to the absorption cross section of a single molecule, which results in directly observable 10% extinction of the laser beam. It is concluded that the access to both...
