Quest for high damage performance: metasurfaces for high power laser applications (Conference Presentation)

We present a simple and scalable method for the production of optics with incorporated metasurfaces, resulting in durable all-dielectric based meta-optics. The scalability and robustness of this method overcome limitations imposed by current technology when fabricating metasurfaces for high power laser applications, while the simplicity of the fabrication process makes it an exciting technique for metasurface generation. This talk will describe the method, show resultant fabricated metasurfaces and the sensitivity introduced by processing parameters – i.e. control over generated surfaces, and discuss the laser damage performance of these engineered large-scale metasurfaces.
