Superresolution imaging via superoscillation focusing of a radially polarized beam
Open accessAbstract
The phenomenon of superoscillation produces oscillations that are faster than the fastest Fourier component of a system, potentially forming a local “hot spot” with a size below the diffraction limit. We show that a radially polarized Laguerre–Gaussian mode has the inherent ability to form superoscillation spots simply by controlling the incident beam size. We investigate this in detail, both numerically and experimentally. Our numerical simulations predict that lateral resolutions close to 100 nm are possible for practical confocal laser scanning microscopy with visible light. We demonstrate experimentally that superoscillation focusing can offer significant spatial resolution improvements for fluorescence imaging.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
