    Conclusions:

    • The proposed MNF array scheme effectively achieves subwavelength optical focusing in the far field.
    • Numerical simulations confirm the feasibility and performance of this diffraction-based focusing technique.
    • The findings provide insights into optimizing MNF array designs for high-resolution optical applications.
