We present an experiment where a single molecule strongly affects the
amplitude and phase of a laser field emerging from a subwavelength aperture. We
achieve a visibility of -6% in direct and +10% in cross-polarized detection
schemes. Our analysis shows that a close to full extinction should be possible
using near-field excitation.
