"replaces large-aperture metalens with array of multiple small-aperture metalenses, preventing chromatic/ off-axis aberrations from severely escalating with increases in aperture size or FOV... reduced wavefront error from >90 to approximately 1 wavelength, reducing aberration, ensuring Modulation Transfer Function curve stays above noise-limited threshold, enhancing recoverability/ image quality...
