Funding Acknowledgements

This research was supported under the Australian Research Council's Discovery Projects funding scheme (project number DP160100983). This work was performed in part at the Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication (MCN) in the Victorian Node of the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF). D.G. acknowledges the ARC for support through a Future Fellowship (FT140100514). E.P. conceived the concept, performed numerical simulations, fabricated and characterized the samples. J.J.C. assisted with fabrication. O.A. performed near-field scanning optical microscopy measurements. T.D.J., D.G., T.E. and A.R. provided oversight of the work. All authors discussed the experimental findings and analysis and contributed to writing the manuscript.
