Fig. 5

a, b Fluorescence microscopy image of the antenna excited by a mercury lamp at 438 ± 12 nm and captured by a CCD camera with an acquisition time of 10 ms (a) or 200 ms (b). The fluorescing antenna is encircled in yellow. Note that the two lighter spots above and below the saturated antenna spot in (b) are reflections on the protecting glass before the CCD camera sensor. c Photon detection rate from the QD before (blue) and after (red) it is placed inside the antenna. The antenna is excited at 405 nm with a pulsed laser at 2.5 MHz
