"In this Chapter, the role of complex artificial structures in enhancing the power transmission through sub-wavelength apertures is discussed. Such devices are aimed at exciting highly localized resonances in order to increase the aperture equivalent magnetic and electric dipole moments. Some examples, based on epsilon-near-zero metamaterials (ENZ), frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) and split-ring resonators (SRRs) at microwaves, and silver nano-particle pairs at terahertz scale, are presented. Such structures may find applications in different fields, such as high-resolution spatial filters, ultra-diffractive imaging systems, high-capacity optical memories, enhanced light throughput tips for nears-field scanning optical microscopes, etc."
