Hyperbolic metasurfaces exhibit unique dispersion and polarization properties, making them a promising platform for a plethora of photonic applications. At the same time, the ability to engineer the hyperbolicity via the predefined spectral positions of the metasurface resonances remains a notable challenge. Here, we analyze the dependencies of the spectral positions of the resonances corresponding to the limits of the hyperbolic regime for the metasurfaces based on square arrays of the rectangular nanopatches. We show that the spectral difference between the resonances increases linearly with stretching of the nanopatch, but this dependence becomes quadratic when the length of the stretched nanopatch exceeds 85% of the lattice constant, indicating the regime of extreme anisotropy. Finally, we demonstrate the characteristic feature of the engineered resonances by showing the canalization (divergenceless propagation) of the surface plasmon-polariton along the anisotropic nanopatch-based metasurface in the vicinity of the resonance. The results obtained may be used for the engineering of the anisotropic nanoparticle-based metasurfaces for a plethora of photonic applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The coupling of light into optical fibers is limited by the numerical aperture (NA). Here, we show that large-area polymer axial-symmetric microstructures printed on silica multimode fibers improve their incoupling performance by two to three orders of magnitude beyond the numerical aperture limit. A ray-optical mathematical model describing the impact of the grating-assisted light coupling complements the experimental investigation. This study clearly demonstrates the improvement of incoupling performance by nanoprinting microstructures on fibers, opening new horizons, to the best of our knowledge, for multimode fiber applications in life sciences, quantum technologies, and "lab-on-fiber" devices.
