This paper presents recent results of ongoing European Space Agency funded program of work aimed at developing large dielectric lenses suitable for future satellite missions, with a particular focus on requirements for CMB polarimetry. Two lens solutions are being investigated: (i) polymer lenses with broadband multi-layer antireflection coatings; (ii) silicon lenses with surface-structured anti-reflection coating represented by directly machined pyramidal features. For each solution, base materials with and without coatings have been optically characterized over a range of temperatures down to ~10 K. Full lens solutions are under manufacture and will be tested in a bespoke large cryo-optical facility.
