Abstract
A circle of planar nanoholes in a dielectric thin film can focus light into a sub-half-wavelength spot. The nanostructure with higher rotational symmetry shows better focusing properties. From finite-difference time-domain calculations, we verified such a focusing spot coming from the constructive interference of diffraction beams near the nanoholes. For a
