Typical emitters such as molecules, quantum dots and semiconductor quantum wells
have slow spontaneous emission with lifetimes of 1-10?ns, creating a mismatch
with high-speed nanoscale optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes,
single-photon sources and lasers. Here we experimentally demonstrate an ultrafast
(<11?ps) yet efficient source of spontaneous emission, corresponding to an
emission rate exceeding 90?GHz, using a hybrid structure of single plasmonic
nanopatch antennas coupled to colloidal quantum dots. The antennas consist of
silver nanocubes coupled to a gold film separated by a thin polymer spacer layer
and colloidal core-shell quantum dots, a stable and technologically relevant
emitter. We show an increase in the spontaneous emission rate of a factor of 880
and simultaneously a 2,300-fold enhancement in the total fluorescence intensity,
which indicates a high radiative quantum efficiency of ?50%. The nanopatch
antenna geometry can be tuned from the visible to the near infrared, providing a
promising approach for nanophotonics based on ultrafast spontaneous emission.
