“Plasmonics” in free space : observation of giant wavevectors, vortices, and energy backflow in superoscillatory optical fields

Evanescent light can be localized at the nanoscale by resonant absorption in a plasmonic nanoparticle or taper or by transmission through a nanohole. However, a conventional lens cannot focus free-space light beyond half of the wavelength λ. Nevertheless, precisely tailored interference of multiple...
