Fig. 1. Schematic shown of the super-oscillation criterion. The focal spot size of planar diffractive lens could be divided into three regions by Rayleigh（black）and super-oscillation（white）criterions，including sub-resolved（orange）^［28］，super-resolution（cyan）^［26］and super-oscillation（dark blue）^［18］. The insets are the field distributions of the focal spots for three typical diffractive lenses ^［24］
