    "abstract": "We present a scheme for remotely addressing single nano-objects by means of\nnear-field optical microscopy that makes only use of one of the most\nfundamental properties of electromagnetic radiation: its polarization. A medium\ncontaining optically active nano-objects is covered with a thin metallic film\npresenting sub-wavelength holes. When the optical tip is positioned some\ndistance away from a hole, surface plasmons in the metal coating are generated\nwhich, by turning the polarization plane of the excitation light, transfer the\nexcitation towards a chosen hole and induce emission from the underlying\nnano-objects. The method, easily applicable to other systems, is demonstrated\nfor single quantum dots (QDs) at low temperature. It may become a valuable tool\nfor future optical applications in the nanoworld.",
