The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Interaction between optical nano-objects at metallo-dielectric interfaces (2006, background): “perforated in metallic films, as well as single nano-apertures, isolated or dressed by shallow corrugatio”
Collimation of sound assisted by acoustic surface waves (2007, background): “This fundamental knowledge enabled extension of this surface-plasmon ability to achieve extraordinary optical transmission and strong collimation of light in a single hole surrounded by a finite periodic array of indentation”
Plasmonic near-field transducer for heat-assisted magnetic recording (2014, background): “around the aperture [20, 23, 24], as shown in Figures 3C and D respectively.”
Creation of a needle of longitudinally polarized light in vacuum using binary optics (2008, result): “In contrast to the usual situation in which a beam diverges after the focal plane and attenuates exponentiall”
Colloquium: Unusual resonators: Plasmonics, metamaterials, and random media (2007, background): “In addition to its fundamental interest, this effect offers promising applications as tunable filters, spatial and spectral multiplexors, etc. (see, e.g., (Lezec et al., 2002; Sambles, 1998)).”
Plasmonic photon sorters for spectral and polarimetric imaging (2008, background): “Introducing plasmonic structures on the exit surface of the aperture can achieve potentially useful beaming and lensing effect”
