N1 - Funding information: We thank Joy Tharian and Phillipe Gasser at the Swiss Federal Institute for Material Research (EMPA) for their help in producing optical near-field tips, and Robert Pfab and Enrico Klotzsch for their contributions to the early stage of sample preparation. This work was financed by the Schweizerische Nationalfond (SNF).

N2 - We study the influence of a scanning nano-electrode on fluorescence excitation spectra of single terrylene molecules embedded in thin p-terphenyl films at cryogenic temperatures. We show that applied voltages less than 10 V can result in reversible Stark shifts of up to 100 times and linewidth increase greater than 10 times the natural linewidth. We discuss the potential of our experimental scheme for direct imaging of individual two-level systems (TLS) in the nanometer vicinity of single molecules.
