    "abstract": "We present an experiment where a single molecule strongly affects the\namplitude and phase of a laser field emerging from a subwavelength aperture. We\nachieve a visibility of -6% in direct and +10% in cross-polarized detection\nschemes. Our analysis shows that a close to full extinction should be possible\nusing near-field excitation.",
