We propose a mechanism for optical energy squeezing and anomalous light tunneling through arbitrarily-shaped plasmonic ultranarrow channels and bends connecting two larger plasmonic metal-insulator-metal waveguides. It is shown how a proper design of sub-wavelength optical channels at cut-off, patterned by plasmonic implants and connecting larger plasmonic waveguides, may allow enhanced resonant transmission, inspired by the anomalous properties of epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) metamaterials. The resonant tunneling is shown to be only weakly dependent on the channel length and its specific geometry, such as possible presence of abruptions and bends.
