Here, Smalleyet al. demonstrate luminescent hyperbolic metasurfaces wherein quantum heterostructures simultaneously function as the emission source and constituent dielectric. The design enables extreme polarization anisotropy of photoluminescence and efficient extraction of in-plane surface modes.
