Abstract
Metal apertures with sizes down to 100 nm can provide deep sub-wavelength optical resolution in the near field region and are proposed for various applications such as ultra-high density optical data storage,1 nano-structure sensors et al. Unfortunately, the power throughputs from these nano-apertures are typically very low2 and this power deficiency problem hinders the practical use of the apertures.
