Development and Demonstration of Metalenses for Improved Light Collection in Noble Element Experiments

As many noble element experiments are moving to larger and larger scales to fulfill their physics goals, providing solutions to enhance the physics potential of these large-scale experiments while maintaining a reasonable cost is of the utmost importance to our field. Metalenses, dielectric nanostructures that focus light like a lens while being small, durable, radiopure, and low cost, could transform light collection. Our research group has previously demonstrated that metalenses can be an attractive solution to increase light collection. We are now developing metalenses optimized for noble element experiments and targeting several potential applications. In this talk, the most recent results of these optimized metalenses will be presented.
