Optics

a band-limited wave that locally oscillates faster than its highest Fourier component, allowing optical focusing finer than the usual diffraction limit without evanescent waves.

In optics, superoscillation refers to a band-limited wave that locally oscillates faster than its highest Fourier component, allowing optical focusing finer than the usual diffraction limit without evanescent waves. This meaning comes from Berry (2006) in Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General.[1]
