TL;DR: Super-oscillations are band-limited functions with the counterintuitive property that they can vary arbitrarily faster than their fastest Fourier component, over arbitrarily long intervals as discussed by the authors, which has implications for information theory and applications to optical vortices, sub-wavelength microscopy and related areas of nanoscience.

TL;DR: Recent developments in optical ‘superoscillation’ technologies are reviewed, which aim to overcome current limitations in superresolution techniques requiring contact with the observed object, the use of fluorescent labels, or viewing that is restricted to the near-field of a lens.

TL;DR: A planar binary phase lens is proposed and the generation of a longitudinally polarized sub-diffraction focal spot is experimentally demonstrated by focusing radially polarized light.

TL;DR: This work proposes a metalens based on an all-dielectric metasurface with a sub-wavelength unit size of 0.39λ for terahertz wave imaging and experimentally demonstrate its performance in focusing and imaging, and demonstrates the reversibility of the metalens for imaging.

TL;DR: Numerical results show that compared with simple binary amplitude modulation, continuous amplitude and phase modulation can greatly improve the super-oscillation focusing performance by increasing the central lobe intensity and the ratio of its energy to the total energy, reducing the sidelobe intensity, and substantially extending the field of view.
