Nanophotonics achieves accurate control over the luminescence properties of asingle quantum emitter by tailoring the light-matter interaction at thenanoscale and modifying the local density of optical states (LDOS). Thisparadigm could also benefit to F\"orster resonance energy transfer (FRET) byenhancing the near-field electromagnetic interaction between two fluorescentemitters. Despite the wide applications of FRET in nanosciences, usingnanophotonics to enhance FRET remains a debated and complex challenge. Here, wedemonstrate enhanced energy transfer within single donor-acceptor fluorophorepairs confined in gold nanoapertures. Experiments monitoring both the donor andthe acceptor emission photodynamics at the single molecule level clearlyestablish a linear dependence of the FRET rate on the LDOS in nanoapertures.These findings are applied to enhance the FRET rate in nanoapertures up to sixtimes, demonstrating that nanophotonics can be used to intensify the near-fieldenergy transfer and improve the biophotonic applications of FRET.
