	When molecules are adsorbed on silver island films, their fluorescent lifetimes are found to be shortened by about three orders of magnitude and their decay is found to be non-exponential in time. This behavior is a result of the electro-magnetic interaction between the molecules and the silver islands. The emission process of the molecule-island system can be quite efficient, and the increased radiative rate can lead to an improved effective quantum yield for adsorbates on silver-island films.
