By the simultaneous observation of surface-enhanced Raman scattering and surface-enhanced fluorescence signals from a single molecule, we can measure and quantify the modification of the total decay rate of emitters in very close proximity to metals, even down to adsorbed molecules. This modified decay rate is shown to be largely dominated by its nonradiative component, which would be extremely difficult to estimate with conventional approaches. The method provides an indirect measurement of ultrafast (similar to 25 fs) mechanisms, which would be impossible to gain with time-resolved spectroscopy of a single molecule.
