Authors Marx D, Malsbenden D, Gligonov I, Wöll D, Enderlein J, Nevskyi O Journal ChemRxiv Citation ChemRxiv. 18 August 2026. Abstract Fluorescence lifetimes near dielectric interfaces depend on molecular dipole orientation, but this relationship becomes more complex when emitters are confined within finite nanoscopic films. Here, we combine radially polarized
