3 3 Dark-field spectroscopy reveal the antenna contribution Scattered intensity (a.u.) Wavelength (nm) Figure S3: Dark-field scattering spectra of the aluminum gap antenna (red curves) and the box aperture (blue curves) for linear illumination polarizations parallel (solid lines) and perpendicular (dashed lines) to the box and antenna main axis. The presence of the dimer antenna inside the box aperture induces a significant red-shift, which is only visible for the polarization parallel to the dimer axis. 3
4 4 FCS analysis procedure The analysis of the FCS data considers two species with different fluorescence brightness: N molecules in the dimer hot spot volume with brightness Q, and N background molecules with brightness Q diffusing away from the hot spot []. The fluorescence intensity correlation function can be written [] G(τ) = F (t).f (t + τ) F (t) = + N Q G d (τ) + N Q G d(τ) (N Q + N Q ) () where G d (τ) and G d(τ) are the normalized functional forms of the correlation function for each species taken individually based on a three dimensional Brownian diffusion model: G di (τ) = ( + τ/τ d,i ) + s i τ/τ d,i () τ d,i stands for the mean residence time (set by translational diffusion) and s i the ratio of transversal to axial dimensions of the analysis volume (i = or ). Since Atto55 and Atto647N dyes undergo negligible photoblinking related to transitions to a triplet state or photoisomerization at µw excitation power (as compared to cyanine derivatives such as Cy5 or Alexa Fluor 647) [3], our model does not consider photoblinking and focus on translational diffusion which is largely sufficient to model the experimental traces. An essential feature of FCS is that the different fluorescent species contribute to the amplitude of G(τ) in proportion to the square of their relative fluorescence brightness, as shown in Eq. (). Fitting the FCS correlation traces quantifies the relative amplitudes ρ i of the contribution from each species without the need for any extra information: G(τ) = + ρ G d(τ) + ρ G d (τ) (3) By comparing Eqs.() and (3), the definitions of ρ i are straightforward: ρ = ρ = N Q (N Q + N Q ) (4) N Q (N Q + N Q ) (5) To quantify the number of molecules N in the antenna hot spot and their brightness Q, we introduce the known value of the average total fluorescence intensity F = N Q + N Q and take advantage of the relation: ρ Q + ρ = (6) Q F The combination of Eqs. (4) and (6) yields the expression for the desired parameters: Q = ρ F ρ Q (7) 4
5 N = ( ρ F Q ) ρ (8) These expressions enable computing N and Q based on the measurement of F and the FCS fitting quantifying ρ and ρ. The only supplementary parameter is the brightness per molecule Q away from the hot spot, which we fix according to the brightness per molecule found with FCS for the antenna with perpendicular orientation (in this case the contribution from the hot spot cancels out). Table S summarizes the results for the FCS fit.

For both dyes, the emission is significantly accelerated in the gap antenna with polarization parallel to the dimer axis, as already indicated in Fig. 3(a-d). The traces for the acceptor are noisier as a consequence of the x lower excitation cross-section for Atto647N at 55 nm. The decay rates (and hence the LDOS) are similar for the two dyes, showing the broadband nature of the aluminum antenna response. Black lines are numerical fits, IRF indicates the instrument response function. 7

We use a Gaussian fit to determine the apparent center FRET efficiency and the standard deviation, and obtain E F RET =.4 ± 3. % in the absence of the acceptor. This graph provides a reference for the zero FRET case, which can be compared with the histograms in Fig. 5b,c that are significantly shifted to positive FRET efficiency values.

Bright color bars correspond to data deduced from fluorescence lifetime fits Γ F RET = Γ DA Γ Do (Fig. 3), light color bars are obtained from fluorescence burst analysis (Fig. 5) combined with the decay rate of the isolated donor, according to the formula Γ F RET = E F RET /( E F RET ) Γ Do. Both measurements converge towards similar values and confirm the validity of our approach. The rate enhancement (right scale) is defined respective to the FRET rate in confocal case.
13 Quantification of radiative and non-radiative decay rates In this section, we combine our measurements to quantify the different photophysical rates described in the simplified Jablonski diagram of Fig. d. Below the fluorescence saturation regime, the fluorescence enhancement η F = η κ η ϕ η exc is proportional to the gains in collection efficiency η κ, quantum yield η ϕ, and excitation intensity η exc. Experimentally, η F is obtained from FCS measurements (Tab. S). The local excitation intensity enhancement η exc = 35 is deduced from the numerical simulations (Fig. e) by averaging the electric field intensity in the gap region. The collection efficiency enhancement is assumed to η κ =, considering that the structure acting as a dipole antenna does not provide any gain in the collection efficiency. With these values at hand, we can compute the quantum yield enhancement as η ϕ = η F /(η exc η κ ). An additional information is brought by the TCSPC decay rates which quantify the fluorescence lifetime reduction and total decay rate enhancement η tot. As the quantum yield is the ratio of radiative rate over the total (radiative + nonradiative) decay rate, the fluorescence enhancement can be rewritten: η F = η κ η rad η exc /η tot, which enables to compute the radiative rate enhancement η rad = η ϕ η tot = η F η tot /(η exc η κ ). The non-radiative rate (without FRET) enhancement is computed following the relation η tot = ϕη rad + ( ϕ)η nrad and the known quantum yield ϕ for the fluorescent dyes in water solution (confocal reference). With the known quantum yield of 8% for Atto55 and 65% for Atto647N in water solution and the quantification of their total decay rate by fluorescence lifetime (Tab. S3), it is possible to extract the values of the radiative, non-radiative and total decay rates from the enhancement factors so as to provide a complete picture of the photophysics rates in the nanogap antenna. Table S4 summarizes the different photokinetic rates together with their enhancement values respective to the confocal reference. We also add the FRET rates and FRET rate enhancement factors found for the donoracceptor separation of 6.8 and. nm. To ease the reading, the different enhancement factors are summarized on Fig. S.
