Super-resolution Imaging of Limited-size Objects

Taeyong Chang, Giorgio Adamo, Nikolay I. Zheludev

Improvement of label-free far-field resolution of optical imaging is possible with prior knowledge of the object such as its sparsity or accumulated by a posteriori examination of…

Simultaneous Superoscillations in Space and Time in Nonseparable Light Pulses

Yijie Shen, Nikitas Papasimakis, Nikolay I. Zheludev

A remarkable phenomenon of superoscillations implies that electromagnetic waves can locally oscillate in space or time faster than the fastest spatial and temporal Fourier componen…
