19. For simplicity, we use the expressions TE and TM throughout the article. Pure TE- and TM-mode excitation requires in-plane illumination. Out-of-plane illumination along the void channels involves additional mode propagation in the channel direction. For a high NA, focussing the TE and TM modes are mixed to some extent.
