Fig. 1: In-plane intensity distribution of a superoscillatory optical spot.

From: Superoscillation: from physics to optical applications

Fig. 1

The entire plane can be divided into the area of the FOV and the area of the sideband. Within the FOV, the superoscillatory spot is surrounded by sidelobes with intensities that are smaller than the spot peak intensity. Outside the FOV, there are sidebands with intensities that well exceed the spot peak intensity. Ipeak, Isl_max and Isb_max are the intensities of the superoscillatory spot, the maximum sidelobe and the maximum sideband, respectively, and FWHM is the full width at half maximum of the spot
