Metamirrors as platform for next-generation ultra-stable laser cavities — •Steffen Sauer1, 2, Johannes Dickmann1, 2, Liam Shelling Neto1, 2, and Stefanie Kroker1, 2, 31TU Braunschweig, Institute for Semiconductor Technology, Hans-Sommer-Str. 66, 38106 Braunschweig, Germany — 2LENA Laboratory for Emergng Nanometrology, Langer Kamp 6a/b, 38106 Braunschweig — 3Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Bundesallee 100, 38116 Braunschweig, Germany

The key ingredients of today′s most precise quantum optics experiments are laser cavities, e.g. in interferometric gravitational wave detectors and atomic clocks. These cavities are based on two highly reflective mirrors with required reflectivities of > 99.997 %. Additionally, cavities will play a key role in future dark matter research. The currently most stable laser cavities are limited by the mirror coating noise. A highly promising approach for the reduction of thermal noise is the implementation of metamirrors. Metamirrors are formed by laterally structured optical sub-wavelength nanostructures, which are designed to manipulate the near-field of the impinging light. Thus, the reflectivity can theoretically reach 100 % with only one structured layer. In this contribution, we present the current progress in the field of metamirrors for ultra-stable laser cavities, including thermal noise computation and reflectivity measurements.
