Abstract
Single-molecule photoluminescence spectroscopy using traditional far-field microscopy yields important information on optical properties of individual molecules or nanoparticles not distorted by averaging over an ensemble. However, this method cannot be applied to nonemitting species such as metal nanoscale particles. To perform single-nanoparticle absorption, measurements one must confine an incident light into a beam with a cross-sectional area that is comparable to a nanoparticle absorption cross-section.
