We report HCN J=4-3, HCO+ J=4-3, and CS J=7-6 observations in 20 nearbystar-forming galaxies with the Acatama Pathfinder EXperiment 12-m telescope.Combined with 4 HCN, 3 HCO+, and 4 CS detections in literature, we probe theempirical link between the luminosity of molecular gas (L_gas) and that ofinfrared emission (L_IR), up to the highest gas densities (10^6 - 10^8 cm-3)that have been probed so far. For nearby galaxies with large radii, we measurethe IR luminosity within the submm beam-size (14"-18") to match the molecularemission. We find linear slopes for L_CS76-L_IR and L_HCN43-L_IR, and aslightly super-linear slope for L_HCO+43-L_IR. The correlation of L_CS76-L_IReven extends over eight orders of luminosity magnitude down to Galactic densecores, with a fit of log(L_IR)=1.00(\pm 0.01) \times log(L_CS76) + 4.03(\pm0.04). Such linear correlations appear to hold for all densities >10^4 cm-3,and indicate that star formation rate is not related to free-fall time scalefor dense molecular gas.
