(b) Image of 1951 USAF resolution test chart taken from MIID with the metalens of with image magnification. (c) Intensity distribution of horizontal lines and vertical lines of element 2, group 8 in the resolution test chart taken from the red dotted box in (a). (d) Intensity distribution of horizontal lines and vertical lines of element 5, group 8 in the resolution test chart taken from the red dotted box in (b). (e) Schematic diagram of signal, noise, and image contrast. Intensity distribution of horizontal lines of element 1, group 8 in (a) (left panel) and vertical lines of element 3, group 8 in (b) (right panel). (f) Resolution of metalenses with different NAs on MIID. The red line is the fitting curve from the experiment data plotted as black points, and the blue star denotes the pixel size of the CMOS image sensor. The black line is the resolution determined by the diffraction limit. (g) The measured MTF of MIID plotted with the theoretical diffraction-limited MTF.
