    Abstract: A fiber to waveguide coupler is provided that includes an optical fiber having a core and a cladding. One end of the optical fiber is tapered and has a non-circular cross-section. The optical fiber defines a stripped portion to expose the at least one substantially flat surface of the fiber. A waveguide is configured to be evanescently coupled with the exposed at least one substantially flat surface of the fiber.

    Abstract: A retroreflective safety device can include a body coupled to a mobile device. A metasurface, disposed on a surface of the body, can include a plurality of nanostructures arranged to retroreflect light that strikes the metasurface. Each nanostructure of the plurality of nanostructures can be smaller than a wavelength of the light. In some examples, a retroreflective safety device can include a body having a first exterior surface and a second exterior surface angled with respect to the first exterior surface. A first metasurface, disposed on the first exterior surface, can include a first plurality of nanostructures arranged to retroreflect light that strikes the first metasurface. A second metasurface, disposed on the second exterior surface, can include a second plurality of nanostructures arranged to retroreflect light that strikes the second metasurface.
