Superoscillations are a phenomenon where a band-limited wave may locally oscillate faster than its highest Fourier component. They are a product of destructive interference between the wave's constituent harmonics. In this article, we…

Super-oscillation is a counter-intuitive phenomenon describing localized fast variations of functions and fields that happen at frequencies higher than the highest Fourier component of their spectra. The physical implications of the effect…

Waves are superoscillatory where their local phase gradient exceeds the maximum wavenumber in their Fourier spectrum. We consider the superoscillatory area fraction of random optical speckle patterns. This follows from the joint probability…

We utilize a method using frequency combs to construct waves that feature superoscillations - local regions of the wave that exhibit a change in phase that the bandlimits of the wave should not otherwise allow. This method has been shown to…

We construct a signal from "almost" pure oscillations within some low frequency band. We construct it to produce a superoscillation with frequency above the nominal band limit. We find that indeed the required high frequency is produced but…
