Abstract

It is shown theoretically, that the phenomenon of radiation focusing in a small region of the near zone inside a dielectric film can present due to electromagnetic wave transmission through sub-wavelength nanoapertures. The confirmation is based on the rigorous theory of plane wave diffraction by a slot in a perfectly conducting screen of finite thickness in the presence of a plane dielectric film on a substrate, which plays the role of a radiation detector.
