Super defocusing of light by optical sub-oscillations

Optics 2017-10-31 v1 Quantum Physics

Abstract

We show that it is possible to construct spectrally lower bound limited functions which can oscillate locally at an arbitrarily low frequency. Such sub-oscillatory functions are complementary to super-oscillatory functions which are band-limited yet can oscillate locally at an arbitrarily high frequency. We construct a spatially sub-oscillatory optical beam to experimentally demonstrate optical super defocusing.
