Abstract
This work demonstrates stimulated emission from a single dye molecule and shows that it can coherently attenuate and amplify a freely propagating laser beam. The first report of stimulated emission from a single emitter in free space is presented and a single emitter can serve as a nanometer-sized optical transistor is shown.
