We discuss our recent results in nanophotonic properties of engineered naturally hyperbolic van der Waals materials. We thermomechanically control thin MoO3 flakes to tune their crystallographic and phonon-polaritonic properties. We show induction of an irreversible strain of up to -2.4% and tuning of the phonon-polaritonic dispersion relationship by more than 10%. By patterning a nanohole array in the exfoliated flakes, resonant phonon-polaritonic excitations result in more than an order of magnitude in mid-infrared field enhancement, resulting in a strong experimentally verified near-field response and enhancement of nonlinear optical properties.
