We investigate the potential of a single subwavelength aperture milled in an aluminium film to enhance the local electromagnetic field. We compare the Raman scattering of unadsorbed chlorobenzene molecules and the fluorescence emission of Cyanine-5 dyes, having the same excitation and collection setup for both experiments. For the optimal nanoaperture diameter, we report a clear enhancement factor of about 5 of the Raman scattering intensity per unit volume. Since Raman scattering probes the molecular vibrational levels and avoids the resonant pumping of a real excited state, the observed Raman enhancement is disconnected from the effects of the molecular energy levels alteration previously reported for fluorescent dyes. The observations are similar for both Raman and fluorescence experiments, and stand in good agreement with numerical electromagnetic computations of the excitation intensity inside the nanoaperture.
