Abstract: In this brief review, we summarize and elaborate on some of the nomenclature of polaritonic phenomena and systems as they appear in the literature on quantum materials and quantum optics. This summary includes at least sixty different types of polaritonic light-matter dressing effects unraveling a broad panorama of the physics and technology of polaritons.

Polaritons are commonly described as light-matter hybrid quasiparticles. Polaritons inherit their attributes from both their light and matter constituents. More rigorously, a polariton is a quantum mechanical superposition of a photon with a matter excitation, the latter being a collective mode in solids and superconducting circuits or an electron in atoms, molecules or even superconducting qubits. As such, the notion of polaritons is a unifying universal concept between the fields of quantum materials and quantum optics/electrodynamics. Until fairly recently, these subfields of contemporary physics evolved largely independently of each other. Among the unintended consequences of these divisions is the ambiguity in polaritonic terminology with the same terms used markedly differently in quantum materials (QM) and cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) in atomic systems. Here, we attempt to summarize (in alphabetical order) some of the polaritonic nomenclature in the two subfields. We hope this summary will help readers to navigate through the vast literature in both of these fields (Refs. 1496). Apart from its utilitarian role, this summary presents a broad panorama of the physics and technology of polaritons transcending the specifics of particular polaritonic platforms (Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics and Cavity Polaritons 2). We invite readers to consult with reviews covering many important aspects of the physics of polaritons in quantum materials (D. N. Basov, Fogler, and García de Abajo 2016; D. N. Basov, Averitt, and Hsieh 2017; Low et al. 2017), atomic and molecular systems (Chang et al. 2018) and in circuit QED (Clerk et al. 2020; Carusotto et al. 2020), as well as general reviews of the closely related topic of strong light-matter interaction (Ruggenthaler et al. 2018; Forn-Díaz et al. 2019; McArdle et al. 2020; Frisk Kockum et al. 2019; Jestädt et al. 2019).

Cavity quantum electrodynamics and cavity polaritons

Cavity quantum electrodynamics and cavity polaritons. In cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED), the spontaneous emission of atoms, molecules and solids is governed not only by the properties of the emitter per se but is also controlled by its local electromagnetic environment. Optical cavities assembled from two parallel mirrors have long been used to confine light, to enhance light-matter interaction and to promote lasing (N. G. Basov 1965). The probability of interaction between light and matter is enhanced by the number of bounces the photon makes between the mirrors before leaving the cavity, which is conventionally quantified by the cavity finesse F. Cavities with high quality factors promote extremely efficient light matter couplings. In the strong-coupling regime (where the coherent interactions between the matter excitation and the cavity mode overcome the dissipation, i.e., when the vacuum Rabi splitting is much larger than the linewidth), the atomic or material excitation hybridizes with the photonic mode and produces a cavity polariton. The minimum separation upper polariton branch and lower polariton branch EUPB −ELPB in Panel H is commonly referred to the normal-mode splitting in analogy to the Rabi splitting of a single-atom cavity system (Deng, Haug, and Yamamoto 2010) (also Fig.4). Rabi splitting can reach fractions of eV in quantum materials and can exceed 1 eV in molecules (Schwartz et al. 2011; Stéphane Kéna-Cohen, Maier, and Bradley 2013). Strong coupling leads to photon blockade, where the presence of a photon in a cavity blocks a second one from coming in the study by Tian and Carmichael (Tian and Carmichael 1992) and Imamoğlu et al. (Imamoḡlu et al. 1997). See also microcavity polaritons.

Panorama of cavities and cavity modes

Box 2. Panorama of cavities and cavity modes. A common Fabry-Perot cavity (Panel A) formed by two parallel mirrors supports linear modes and maintains time-reversal symmetry. Cavities employing chiral meta-surfaces support helical modes (Panel B). A possible realization of time-reversal symmetry-breaking is offered by the use of Faraday mirrors in panel (Panel C). Ring mode cavities (Panel D) sustain running waves of a chosen circular polarization and break time reversal symmetry by means of a handedness filter realizable with a combination of a Faraday rotator and polarization optics. Advanced cavities are well suited for the exploration of the physics of spin vortices and skyrmion spin textures in exciton-polariton condensates originating from the optical spin Hall effect (Hübener et al. 2021; Vaidya et al. 2018). Panels A-D from Ref.(Jia et al. 2018). Panel E: multi-mode cavity QED enabling local light-matter coupling. The schematic displays two 87Rb Bose-Einstein condensates trapped at locations x1 and x2 on opposite sides of the cavity center (Faure et al. 2009).  Panel F: schematic of a strongly interacting polaritonic quantum dot formed by 150 Rydberg-dressed Rubidium in a single-mode optical resonator (Donati et al. 2016). BS: beamsplitter; D1, D2: single-photon detectors.

Charged exciton-polaritons

Figure 2: Charged exciton-polaritons. Panels A: Two quantum wells, labeled with the indicies σ = 1, 2 and separated by a distance d, form an electron-hole bilayer in the extremely imbalanced limit. The minority species belongs to the σ = 2 layer, while the majority species at σ = 1 forms an interacting Fermi sea. Uq and Vq are, respectively, intra- and interspecies Coulomb interactions. The bilayer is located inside a planar cavity that confines the cavity photon mode C. The (blue) shaded area represents the finite-size external laser pump spot. Panel B: The same setup in a single quantum-well geometry. Here, the majority σ = 1 and minority σ = 2 species belong to the same well. Panels C and D:  the particle-hole excitation process via a photon without and with) a Fermi sea, respectively. All photon-mediated transitions are approximately vertical in a cavity.

Panel A: charge transfer plasmon polaritons at the interface of graphene and a-RuCl3 visualized by means of nanoinfrared methods (ω= 898 cm−1 , T = 60 K). Three types of plasmonic fringes are observed: (i) edge plasmon polaritons (dark spots at along the physical boundary of graphene crystal), (ii) interior plasmon polaritons (oscillating wave pattern emanating from the boundary of graphene on the left), and (iii) defect-launched plasmon polaritons forming circular patterns in the interior of the sample. Adapted from a study by Rizzo et al. (Rizzo et al. 2020). Panels B– D: nano-IR imaging of edge plasmons on graphene nanoribbons. White dashed lines mark the boundaries of the crosscut GNR.

Cavity Exciton Polaritons

Figure 4: Cavity exciton polaritons. Panel A: polaritons (pink spheres with blue halo) emerge from strong coupling between the excitonic resonance in a quantum well (transparent sheet) and the photonic mode of a GaAs/AlGaAs microcavity. THz probing (blue curve) maps out the matter component of the polaritons, while photoluminesce (PL, red arrows) leaking through a Bragg mirror reveals the photonic component. Panel B: normal-mode splitting. The heavy hole 1s exciton resonance (dashed curve) and the photonic mode (dotted curve) are replaced by the upper polariton branch and lower polariton branch (UPB and LPB, respectively; solid curves). PL (thick red arrow) originates from the radiative decay of polaritons at small in-plane momenta k||. Panel C: THz absorption probes hydrogen-like intraexcitonic transitions. While the 1s state is spectrally shifted by strong light–matter coupling, the optically dark 2p exciton is not affected by the cavity. The resulting momentum dependence of the THz transition energy allows us to map out the momentum distribution of the polaritons as they relax toward k|| = 0 (green dotted arrow). From a study by Menard et al. (Ménard et al. 2014). Panel D: schematic of the valley ´ exciton polariton phenomena. The solid (gray) curves indicate LPB and UPB. The bare cavity and the exciton dispersion are shown by the black and orange dashed curves, respectively. Pump 1 is used to excite directly the exciton reservoir, whereas pump 2 excites the lower polariton branch at specific k|| and ω. The emission is collected at smaller angles. The top inset shows the valley polarization phenomena in 2D transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) semiconductors caused by the broken inversion symmetry. In these materials, the K and K′ points correspond to the band edges separated in momentum space but energetically degenerate. The bottom inset is a schematic of the microcavity structure with silver and a SiO2 cavity layer embedded with prototypical TMDC materials WS2. From a study by Sun et al. (Zheng Sun et al. 2017).

Anderson-Higgs polaritons
Anderson-Higgs polaritons (Raines et al. 2020; Zhiyuan Sun et al. 2020). The matter constituent of these polaritons originates from the Anderson-Higgs amplitude mode in superconductors(Littlewood and Varma 1981) (Fig.1). Anderson-Higgs polaritons are yet to be experimentally observed.
Bardasis-Schrieffer (BaSh) polaritons
Bardasis-Schrieffer (BaSh) polaritons. The matter constituent of BaSh polaritons is associated with the fluctuations of sub-dominant order parameter in superconductors(Walker 1957; Allocca et al. 2019), charge density wave systems (Raines et al. 2020) and excitonic insulators(Zhiyuan Sun and Millis 2020). This novel theoretical concept still awaits experimental confirmation. The requisite experiments include nano-spectroscopy and nano-imaging of polaritonic dispersion in the terahertz (THz) frequency range below the energy gap of superconductors. These are challenging scanning probe measurements, as they have to be carried out at cryogenic temperatures. Nano-THz imaging at cryogenic temperatures have been recently fulfilled(Stinson et al. 2018) paving the wave to the exploration of polaritonic phenomena in superconductors (see also Cooper pair plasmon polaritons and Josephson plasmon polaritons).
Berreman polaritons

Berreman polaritons:  Phonon polaritons in anisotropic materials and multilayer structures, also referred to as epsilon-near-zero or ENZ polaritons (X. Liu et al. 2015; Šik et al. 2000; Runnerstrom et al. 2017). ENZ materials, artificial structures and nano-cavities reveal exotic electromagnetic responses with a broad range of technological applications [27](Runnerstrom et al. 2017; Kelley et al. 2019; Alù et al. 2007; Javani and Stockman 2016; Thomas G. Folland et al. 2020). For example, ENZ nano-cavities facilitate ultra-strong coupling between plasmonic and phononic modes (Thomas G. Folland et al. 2020) as well as the so-called photonic doping (Liberal et al. 2017).

Berry plasmon polaritons

Berry plasmon polaritons: chiral plasmonic modes whose dispersion is explicitly impacted by the Berry curvature and anomalous velocity in chiral media (L. Shi and Song 2018; Kumar et al. 2016; Song and Rudner 2016). Berry plasmon polaritons are yet to be experimentally observed.

 

Bose-Hubbard polaritons

Bose-Hubbard polaritons: cavity QED polaritons with matter component associated with transitions across the Mott gap in the system of interacting atoms (Bhaseen et al. 2009) (see also Mott polaritons).

 

 

Bragg polaritons

Bragg polaritons. Bragg reflectors (Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics and Cavity Polaritons  Panel G, Figs. 2 and 4) are routinely utilized to implement polaritonic cavities. Bragg polaritons pertain to systems in which multiple excitonic layers and/or quantum wells are periodically integrated in a DBR cavity (Faure et al. 2009; Goldberg et al. 2009) (see also polaritonic lattices). The inherent anisotropy of Bragg multilayer structures may enable hyperbolic electrodynamics(Sedov et al. 2015) (see hyperbolic polaritons).

 

Cavity polaritons

Cavity (micro-cavity) polaritons. Weisbuch et al. (C. Weisbuch et al. 1992) devised and implemented the first semiconductor (micro)cavity device revealing Rabi splitting of exciton polaritons (Cavity quantum electrodynamics and cavity polaritons  and 2). Semiconductor microcavites emerged as a powerful platform for the investigation of strong light-matter interaction in semiconductors (Claude Weisbuch and Benisty 2005; Agranovich, Litinskaia, and Lidzey 2003). Microcavity structures reveal intriguing phenomena including the polariton parametric amplification (Savvidis et al. 2000) and its spontaneous counterpart, the parametric photoluminescence (Stevenson et al. 2000). Parametric photoluminescence is a purely quantum process. An appealing attribute of polariton parametric photoluminescence is that signal-idler polariton pairs are produced in non-classical states with quantum correlations. The quest for Bose-Einstein condensation of microcavity polaritons has produced a stream of breakthrough results (Deng et al. 2002; Guillet and Brimont 2016) (see also exciton-polaritons and their condensates). Microcavity exciton-polaritons display quantum effects including entanglement (Cuevas et al. 2018) and polariton blockade (Delteil et al. 2019; Muñoz-Matutano et al. 2019) and may serve as a platform for the implementation of qubits (Demirchyan et al. 2014).

Channel polaritons

Channel polaritons are supported by materials and structures with a straight channel cut in polaritonic medium (Novikov and Maradudin 2002). Channel polaritons were utilized for the implementation of waveguide components including interferometers and ring resonators (Bozhevolnyi et al. 2006). Polaritons guided along the nano-slit are predicted to form hybrid polaritons giving rise to both bonding and antibonding modes (Gonçalves et al. 2017).

Charge transfer polaritons
Charge transfer polaritons. The formation of plasmon polaritons in graphene or semiconductors relies on the high carrier density that can be introduced by electrostatic gating (Z. Fei et al. 2012; J. Chen et al. 2012), ferroelectric polarization (Goldflam et al. 2015), chemical doping (Xiao et al. 2016) or photo-excitation (Wagner, Fei, et al. 2014). Alternatively, the requisite carrier density can be introduced by charge transfer across the interface between proximal materials with dissimilar work functions. Such charge transfer plasmon polaritons have been demonstrated for graphene residing on another van der Waals material RuCl3  (Rizzo et al. 2020). Experiments on metallic nano-particles show that charge transmitted between the pair of nano-particles through a conducting pathway leads to a characteristic plasmonic response (Wen et al. 2015) termed charge transfer plasmons. Interlayer exciton in TMDC heterostructures (e.g. MoSe2/WSe2) also involves charge transfer from one layer to another; the relevant microcavity polaritons (Förg et al. 2019) are classified as charge transfer exciton polaritons.
Charged polariton

Charged polariton. Charged polaritons posess a non-vanishing electric charge. This interesting concept was introduced in the context of the cavity exciton polaritons in GaAs/AlAs quantum wells that also hosted two-dimensional electron gas with the density ne. Spectroscopic experiments in (Rapaport et al. 2000)  have identified several distinct properties of charged exciton polaritons, including the scaling of the coupling strength analogous to the properties of atomic QED system (Raimond and Haroche 1995). The effective mass of charged polaritons exceeds the band mass of a GaAs quantum well by a factor of 200. Tiene et al. have theoretically demonstrated the unique utility of charged micro-cavity polaritons for exploring the physics of electron-hole systems with charge imbalance, which are difficult to access with alternative experimental methods (Tiene et al. 2020).  They demonstrated how the Fermi sea of excess charges modifies both the exciton properties and the dielectric constant of the cavity medium, which in turn affects the photon component of the many-body polariton ground state (Fig.2). See also the closely related entries of Fermi-edge exciton polaritons and trion polaritons.

Cherenkov polaritons

Cherenkov polaritons. In the Cherenkov effect (Cherenkov), a charged particle moving with a velocity faster than the phase velocity of light in the medium radiates light. The emitted radiation forms a cone with a half angle determined by the ratio of the two velocities. Genevet et al. demonstrated that by creating a running wave of polarization along a one-dimensional metallic nanostructure consisting of subwavelength-spaced rotated apertures that propagates faster than the surface plasmon polariton phase velocity, one can generate surface plasmon wakes that serve as a two-dimensional analogue of Cherenkov radiation (Genevet et al. 2015). The Cherenkov physics is also relevant to the properties of phonon polaritons (Auston et al. 1984; Maciel-Escudero et al. 2020). Infrared nano-imaging experiments reveal Cherenkov phonon polariton wakes emitted by superluminal one-dimensional plasmon polaritons in a silver nanowire on the surface of hexagonal boron nitride (Y. Zhang et al. 2020). See also Exciton-polariton X-waves on superluminal properties in the system of exciton-polaritons

Cooper pairs polaritons
Cooper pairs polaritons (in QMs and cold fermionic cavity systems). Cooper pair plasmon polaritons is an inherent attribute of superconductors. The matter component of these polaritons is associated with the superfluid density (D. N. Basov, Fogler, and García de Abajo 2016). The dispersion of Cooper pairs plasmon polaritons in layered cuprate high-Tc superconductors has been investigated theoretically (Raines et al. 2020; Stinson et al. 2014), but is yet to be explored in experiments. Recently, the formalism of the Bardeen Cooper and Schrieffer theory of superconductivity has been applied to describe the quasiparticle excitations of a cold fermion system coupled to a cavity. Depending on the excitation density and atomic interaction, the excited atoms and holes and in the Fermi sea may form bound Cooper pairs strongly coupled with cavity photons.  This latter kind of polaritons were also termed Cooper pair polaritons (Dodel et al. 2020).
Dark polaritons in QM

Dark polaritons in QMs: polaritons characterized by a wavevector that lies beyond the light line. The lower branches of polaritons in many/most QM systems are dark by this criterion and do not couple to free space photons because of the notorious “momentum mismatch” problem (Cavity quantum electrodynamics and cavity polaritons F, H, Fig.1).Light coupling to dark polaritons can be can be mediated by nanoscale defects such as a protrusions, divots, or cracks, exploiting the high spatial frequencies inherent to these deeply subwavelength objects. Better controlled strategies can also provide the missing momentum needed for coupling to dark polaritons (Barnes, Dereux, and Ebbesen 2003). These include prism and grating coupling, and the use of plasmonic optical nanoantennas (P. J. Schuck et al. 2005; Biagioni, Huang, and Hecht 2012; Novotny and van Hulst 2011; Baumberg et al. 2019; Tamagnone et al. 2018; Dubrovkin et al. 2020; Brown et al. 2018; X. Chen et al. 2019). Notably, sharp scan-probe tips can act as such antennas (Zhe Fei et al. 2011; P. James Schuck et al. 2013; Berweger et al. 2012; Park et al. 2018; B.-Y. Jiang et al. 2016; Keilmann and Hillenbrand 2004) allowing polaritonic waves to be launched and visualized. Scanning probe antenna-based nano-optics has emerged as an indespensible research tool enabling spectroscopy and visualization of polaritons in QMs (D. N. Basov, Fogler, and García de Abajo 2016; Brown et al. 2018; Atkin et al. 2012).

 

Dark-state polaritons in atomic ensembles

Dark-state polaritons in atomic ensembles: typically, this refers to polaritons in atomic ensembles that propagate in the regime of electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) (Fleischhauer, Imamoglu, and Marangos 2005; S. E. Harris, Field, and Imamoğlu 1990; Lukin 2003; Zoubi and Ritsch 2011). The darkness arises from the photon mixing strongly with a collective atomic excitation, resulting in a state with only a minute photonic component. See also EIT polaritons below. In ordered atomic arrays, dark (also often reffered to as subradiant) states emerge due to interference in photon emission and absorption. At the single photon level, these darks states are collective spin excitations with a wave-vector that lies beyond the light line, preventing the coupling with radiation modes (exactly the same phenomenon of “momentum mismatch” described above for QMs) (Bettles, Gardiner, and Adams 2016; Asenjo-Garcia, Moreno-Cardoner, et al. 2017; Shahmoon et al. 2017; Pines 1956). Polaritons arising in atomic lattices have applications in quantum information storage and processing (Shahmoon et al. 2017).

Demons

Demons:  or density modes were introduced by David Pines (Pines 1956), an early protagonist of plasmons research. Demons are particularly relevant to the response of the Dirac fluid in graphene in hydrodynamic regime (Zhiyuan Sun, Basov, and Fogler 2018) and adiabatic plasmon amplification (Zhiyuan Sun, Basov, and Fogler 2016).

Dirac plasmon polaritons

Dirac plasmon polaritons are formed by hybrids of infrared photons with Dirac electrons in graphene (Jablan, Buljan, and Soljačić 2009; Woessner et al. 2015; Z. Fei et al. 2012; J. Chen et al. 2012). Direct nano-imaging experiments uncovered extraordinarily long propagation lengths of highly confined Dirac polaritons and have established fundamental limits underlying their decoherence and losses (Ni et al. 2018).

 

Dyakonov surface polaritons

Dyakonov surface polaritons:  the surface modes that propagate along the interface between isotropic and uniaxial materials (D’yakono 1988; Takayama et al. 2009; Zubin Jacob and Narimanov 2008). A special case of Dyakonov polaritons is realized in anisotropic crystals of layered van der Waals materials. One example is that of the hyperbolic surface phonon polaritons propagating along the edges of slabs prepared from hexagonal boron nitride (Siyuan Dai, Tymchenko, Yang, et al. 2018; Alfaro-Mozaz et al. 2017; Dolado et al. 2020).

Edge magneto-plasmons

Edge magneto-plasmons. Two-dimensional (2D) electron gas subjected to the magnetic field normal to the plane of the 2D conductors reveals two distinct field-dependent resonances: the cyclotron resonance mode with frequency increasing with the magnetic field and another mode that redshifts with the applied field. The latter mode has been linked to the edge plasmons of the charged sheet and can be viewed as the 2D analog of surface plasmons in three dimensional (3D) systems (Mast, Dahm, and Fetter 1985). Specifically, edge magneto-plasmons can propagate along the physical boundary of the 2D conductors (Volkov and Mikhailov 1988; Kumada et al. 2014).  Edge magneto-plasmons constitute a spectacular manifestation of the dynamical Hall effect. Edge magneto-plasmons are chiral. Their chirality is a direct implication of the applied Lorentz force (Petković, Williams, and Glattli 2014). Graphene reveals rich plasmonic phenomena in the presence of magnetic fields (Sadowski et al. 2006; Z. Jiang et al. 2007; Orlita et al. 2011; Z.-G. Chen et al. 2014; Nedoliuk et al. 2019).

 

Edge plasmon polaritons

Edge plasmon polaritons: one-dimensional plasmonic modes propagating along the physical boundaries of two-dimensional materials (Fig.3). Edge plasmon polaritons reveal an approximately  10 % shorter wavelength compared to the interior of the plasmonic medium (A. Y. Nikitin et al. 2016). Qualitatively, the shorter wavelength can be ascribed to the effective reduction of the Drude weight since free carriers exist only on one side of the physical boundary. Dyakonov hyperbolic phonon-polaritons are a lattice analog of edge plasmon polaritons. Berini reported on an in-depth numerical analysis of edge and corner plasmon-polariton modes in thin conducting slabs (Berini 2000).

 

Whispering-galley polaritons

Whispering-galley polaritons is a special example of an edge polaritons that loops around the ridge of polartonic medium (Lorente-Crespo et al. 2020) or along the cirumfrance of nano-holes (Rindzevicius et al. 2007; Degiron et al. 2004).

EIT in nanoplasmonic structures

EIT in nanoplasmonic structures (N. Liu et al. 2009; Taubert et al. 2012), EIT with plasmon polaritons in graphene (Yan et al. 2014; S. Xia et al. 2020) and EIT with exciton polaritons in microcavities (Walther, Johne, and Pohl 2018).

EIT polaritons propagate

EIT polaritons propagate in atomic systems under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). A remarkable aspect of EIT polaritons is that they can be slowed down to 10-s of meters per second (Hau et al. 1999) or even brought to a standstill  (Kocharovskaya, Rostovtsev, and Scully 2001; Bajcsy, Zibrov, and Lukin 2003). EIT polaritons can be dark (decoupled from radiation, more “atom-like”) or bright (coupled to radiation, more “photon-like”). The darkness/brightness of the polaritons is controlled by an external laser beam. EIT polaritons can be strongly interacting, if coupled to Rydberg states (see Rydberg polaritons below). The EIT phenomenon is also observed in materials and nanostructures.

 

ENZ Polaritons

ENZ polaritons: epsilon near zero or ENZ polaritons are equivalent to Berreman polaritons above.

 

Exciton-polaritons and their condensates

Exciton-polaritons and their condensates.  Exciton-polaritons are bosonic quasiparticles originating from photons hybridized with hydrogen-like bound electron-hole pairs. Semiconductor microcavities (Cavity quantum electrodynamics and cavity polaritons and Fig. 4A) offer an outstanding platform for the investigation of exciton polaritons and the attendant strong light-matter coupling. Provided a high-quality microcavity is nearly resonant with an excitonic transition, trapped photons may be emitted and reabsorbed multiple times before being lost to dissipation or cavity leakage. Absorption and re-emission of photons in the cavity gives rise to light-matter mixed eigenstates (C. Weisbuch et al. 1992).  When sufficiently long-lived, exciton-polaritons may form coherent quantum states (Kasprzak et al. 2006; Carusotto and Ciuti 2013; Byrnes, Kim, and Yamamoto 2014). Bose Einstein condensates (BEC) of exciton polaritons are appealing quantum liquids in part because their coherent state is created and controlled by light (Griffin, Snoke, and Stringari 1995; High et al. 2012; D. Snoke 2002). The binding energies of excitons in organic molecules (Eisenstein and MacDonald 2004), transition metal dichalcogenides and lead halide perovskites can be as high as 0.75 eV (Deng, Haug, and Yamamoto 2010; D. W. Snoke and Keeling 2017; Y. Sun, Wen, et al. 2017; Lerario et al. 2017; Fu et al. 2019; Hanbicki et al. 2015; Cheiwchanchamnangij and Lambrecht 2012; Ramasubramaniam 2012; Komsa and Krasheninnikov 2012) these extraordinary high binding energies underlie the theoretical predictions of condensation and superfluidity at T=300 K (H. Min et al. 2008; Fogler, Butov, and Novoselov 2014; F.-C. Wu, Xue, and MacDonald 2015). BECs of exciton polaritons were predicted to form spatially and temporarily ordered states: time crystals (Nalitov et al. 2019). Exciton-polariton condensates may also enable energy-efficient lasers (Fraser, Höfling, and Yamamoto 2016).

 

Exciton-polariton X-waves

Exciton-polariton X-waves: wavepackets of exciton-polaritons that sustain their shape without spreading, even in the linear regime. In Ref. (Gianfrate et al. 2018). self-generation of an X-wave out of a Gaussian excitation spot is obtained via a weakly nonlinear asymmetric process with respect to two directions of the nonparabolic polariton dispersion. Notably, X-waves were found to propagate with superluminal peak speed with respect to the group velocity of the polaritonic system.

 

Fermi edge exciton polaritons

Fermi edge exciton polaritons (Gabbay et al. 2007; Pimenov et al. 2017) are observed in microcavities where the active semiconductor is heavily doped to form the Fermi edge. Fermi edge exciton polaritons are formed of electron hole pair excitations involving electron and hole states with in-plane wave vectors around the Fermi edge: kIIe=kIIh~kF where kF is the Fermi wavevector. In some litrature this latter form of polaritonic states are reffered to Mahan exciton polaritons (Baeten and Wouters 2015)  recognizing a prediction of excitonic bound states in doped semiconductors beyond the critical density of the insulator to metal transition states by G. Mahan (Mahan 1967a; Mahan 1967b). See also Quantum Hall polaritons below.

Floquet polaritons

Floquet polaritons. The concept of Floquet engineering refers to the control of a system using a time-periodic optical field and is being broadly applied in atomic physics as well as in the field of quantum materials (Oka and Kitamura 2019). The notion of Floquet polaritons pertains to polaritons in a system of Floquet-engineered atomic states (Clark et al. 2019) or electronic states in solids (Mahmood et al. 2016). The concept of Floquet engineering by time-period optical fields has been extended to coherent phonons in quantum materials (Hübener, De Giovannini, and Rubio 2018)Chiral Floquet polaritons are predicted (Jia et al. 2018) to form in chiral cavities in which fundamental matter symmetries are broken (Box 2).

Frenkel exciton polaritons

Frenkel exciton polaritons. The matter constituent of these polaritons originates from Frenkel excitons characterized by the Bohr radii of the same order as the size of the unit cell. Frenkel exciton polaritons are common in organic semiconductors (Betzold et al. 2020). The high exciton binding energy (~eV) and large oscillator strength may lead to room temperature exciton-polariton condensates (Lidzey et al. 1998; Lerario et al. 2017; Keeling and Kéna-Cohen 2020).

Fuchs-Kliewer interface polaritons

Fuchs-Kliewer interface polaritons: phonon polaritons occurring at surfaces and interfaces (Foteinopoulou et al. 2019) with the matter part originating from Fuchs-Kliewer surface phonons (Kliewer and Fuchs 1966). Huber et al. (A. Huber et al. 2005) employed nano-infrared methods to visualize propagating Fuchs-Kliewer surface phonon polaritons in SiC. Surface phonon polaritons are observed in insulating and semiconducting materials including hBN (Fleischhauer, Imamoglu, and Marangos 2005; S. E. Harris, Field, and Imamoğlu 1990) and SiC (Hillenbrand, Taubner, and Keilmann 2002; Caldwell et al. 2013; Tiwald et al. 1999; Taubner et al. 2006) GaAs (Moore and Holm 1996), and many others.

Geometrical optics studies the behavior of light and its interactions with boundaries, applying the principles of geometry to determine the directions of light rays. This is particularly useful for the analysis and understanding of phenomena such as reflection and refraction, and for predicting the behavior of devices like lenses and mirrors.

When applied to polaritonics, geometrical optics relies on the analysis of the isofrequency curve, a slice of the dispersion surface in wavevector–frequency () space—where k is the polaritonic wavevector—by a plane of a constant frequency ω. In general, the wavevector is drawn from the origin to any point of the IFC. The propagation direction is generally determined here by the normal to the IFC. We note here that the direction of the Poynting vector S is usually presumed to be parallel to that of the group velocity vg, both are assumed to be normal to the IFC and describe the propagation direction of the wave. Voronin et al. have shown that, for low losses, the direction of the imaginary part of the wavevector coincides with that of the group velocity vg (Voronin et al., 2024). However, the rigorous proof of the collinearity between S and vg for polaritons propagating along strongly anisotropic slabs is still an open problem.

Geometrical optics provides a simple approach to study the directions of propagation of the wave, given (we assume here) by S and of the wavefronts, given by the perpendicular to k. When studying reflection or refraction of light, momentum conservation at the boundary must be considered. This implies that the projection onto the boundary of the incident and reflected or refracted wavevectors must be conserved, i.e., . By looking for the components that have the same projection on the boundary, the outcoming wavevector and direction of propagation can be easily determined.

In isotropic media, the IFC is a circumference (Fig. 1a). As such, the angle of reflection is positive and equal to that of incidence θr = θi, yielding the well-known specular reflection. Note that the wavelength of the reflected wave can be easily obtained from the wavevector kr, and as expected is the same for all directions, and given by the radius of the circumference. In contrast, in anisotropic media the angle of reflection can be different to that of incidence (Fig. 1b). Particularly, in hyperbolic media the IFC describes an open hyperbola and, as a result, not all wavevectors are allowed (Fig. 1c). Several consequences can be extracted from this. Firstly, hyperbolic polaritons cannot propagate along all directions in real space. Second, k and S are generally non-collinear, which has marked consequences in reflection and refraction phenomena. Hyperbolic polaritons can reflect at angles that are different to that of incidence, and the angle of reflection (θr; calculated as the angle that the reflected energy flux S forms with the normal to the boundary) can be even negative, i.e., Si and  Sr  can be on the same side of the normal to the boundary (Fig. 1d, see also section “Negative reflection and refraction of polaritons”).

The principles of geometrical optics can also be applied to the understanding of refractive phenomena. The underlying mechanism is the same: conservation of momentum. However, when studying refraction from a geometrical optics perspective, we need to consider two IFCs (Fig. 2, left). By projecting the incident wave’s wavevector onto the boundary and looking for the wavevector that conserves such projection in the other IFC, the direction and wavelength of the refractive wave can be found.  This feature can serve as the basis for the design of lenses, as illustrated in Fig. 2 (right). By performing an analysis based on geometrical optics, the angle of the boundary can de designed to be nearly perpendicular to the asymptote of the hyperbolic IFC, causing refracted polaritons to propagate almost parallel to the boundary with large wavevectors, allowing for the design of a deeply subdiffractional lens.

Helical plasmon polaritons

Helical plasmon polaritons: were predicted to form in topologically nontrivial Weyl semimetals (Pellegrino, Katsnelson, and Polini 2015). Plasmon polariton dispersion may enable the detection of a chiral anomaly:  a charge imbalance between the Weyl nodes in the presence of electric and magnetic fields (Zhou, Chang, and Xiao 2015). The Fermi surface of Weyl semimental features open disjoint segments – the Fermi arcs – associated with the topolical surface states. The resulting Fermi arc plasmon polaritons are predicted to be chiral and to reveal unidirectional propagation (Song and Rudner 2017).  Helical plasmon terminology was also applied to describe one-dimensional plasmon polaritons associated with the helical state in domain walls of topologically nontrivial conductors including anomalous quantum Hall systems (Iorsh, Rahmanova, and Titov 2019). Helicity-dependence of plasmon polaritons is discussed in the context of unidirectional propagation in plasmonic meta-structures controlled by the circular polarization of light (J. Lin et al. 2013; Huang et al. 2013; Hopfield 1958).

Hopfield polaritons

Hopfield polaritons: a bold theoretical concept of light-matter hybridization proposed by John Hopfield in his doctoral thesis back in 1958 (Ref. (Hopfield 1958)). Hopfield also co-authored the first experimental paper on polaritons devoted to the study of phonon polariton dispersion in GaP by means of Raman scattering (Henry and Hopfield 1965). Other early contributions to the theory of polaritons (short of introducing this term) were made by Fano (Fano 1956), Huang (HUANG 1951) and Tolpygo (Tolpygo 1950).

Hybrid polaritons
Hybrid polaritons. Different types of polaritons hosted by the same material are prone to hybridization (Caldwell et al. 2016). For example, intersubband polaritons and phonon polaritons hybridize in semiconductor quantum wells (Wendler and Haupt 1986; Askenazi et al. 2014; Franckié et al. 2018). Hybridization can also occur in multi-layered structures. In all-dielectric layered structures phonon polaritons associated with the neighboring layers couple to form hybrid modes (Dubrovkin et al. 2020; Passler et al. 2018; Strashko and Agranovich 2014)  Semiconductor heterostructures (Ratchford et al. 2019; Runnerstrom et al. 2019) and especially Van der Waals heterostructures offer a fertile platform for the implementation of hybrid polaritons (Chaudhary, Tamagnone, Rezaee, et al. 2019; S. Dai, Ma, Liu, et al. 2015). One such example (Fig.5 B,C) is graphene surrounded by insulating layers of hexagonal boron nitride hBN or silicon dioxide. Plasmons associated with graphene layers hybridize with phonon polaritons in proximal SiO2 or hBN layers to form plasmon-phonon polaritons (Bezares et al. 2017; Kumar et al. 2015; Z. Fei et al. 2012; J. Chen et al. 2012). Hybrid polaritons at the interface of graphene with high-Tc superconductors were proposed as a tool to probe Anderson-Higgs electrodynamics (Costa et al. 2021). Hybrid polariton at the interface of graphene with a charge density wave materials were theoretically proposed to “melt” the density wave order (Dehghani et al. 2020). Hybrid modes produced by plasmons in graphene and molecular vibrations of absorbates on the graphene surface may enable high-selectivity sensing mechanisms (Rodrigo et al. 2015; Autore et al. 2018). A special case of hybrid modes is hybrid longitudinal-transverse phonon polaritons (Gubbin et al. 2019). Polaritonic heterostructures with phase change materials enable persistent switching of polaritonic response under thermal and optical stimuli (T. G. Folland et al. 2018).
Hyperbolic polaritons

Hyperbolic polaritons. Anisotropic media are predicted to support an interesting class of polaritonic light-matter modes referred to as “hyperbolic” because their iso-frequency surface is a hyperboloid (Kumar et al. 2015; Poddubny et al. 2013; J. S. Gomez-Diaz and Alù 2016; J. Sebastian Gomez-Diaz, Tymchenko, and Alù 2015; Caldwell et al. 2014; Guo et al. 2012; Cortes et al. 2012; J. Sun, Litchinitser, and Zhou 2014; Narimanov and Kildishev 2015a). These modes exist over a range of frequencies where the in-plane permittivity and the out-of-plane (c-axis) permittivity are of the opposite sign. Hyperbolic electrodynamics and hyperbolic polaritons can originate from a variety of physical processes including phonons (T. G. Folland et al. 2018; Caldwell et al. 2014; S. Dai et al. 2014; Giles et al. 2018; Taboada-Gutiérrez et al. 2020; Caldwell et al. 2019; Fali et al. 2019; Ambrosio et al. 2017; Ambrosio et al. 2018; G. Hu, Shen, et al. 2020; Siyuan Dai, Quan, et al. 2019; Siyuan Dai, Tymchenko, Xu, et al. 2018) inter-subband transitions in quantum wells (Hoffman et al. 2009; Feng et al. 2017; Lu et al. 2018) plasmons (Poddubny et al. 2013; J. Sun, Litchinitser, and Zhou 2014; Iorsh et al. 2013; Narimanov and Kildishev 2015b; G. Hu, Krasnok, et al. 2020; C. Wang et al. 2020) excitons (Epstein et al. 2020) and Cooper pairs (see Cooper pair polaritons). Hyperbolic polaritons dramatically enhance the local photonic density of states and are predicted to give rise to strong nonlinearities (Rivera et al. 2017). Hyperbolic polaritons enable canalization imaging (Belov and Hao 2006) with image effectively transferred by high-momentum sub-diffractional polaritonic rays from back to front surface of the polaritonic medium (Peining Li et al. 2020; S. Dai, Ma, Andersen, et al. 2015; Correas-Serrano, Alù, and Gomez-Diaz 2017; Peining Li et al. 2015).

 

Image Polaritons

Image polaritons: virtual polariton modes produced by image charges at the interface of a polaritonic medium and a metal. Lee et al. have experimentally demonstrated low loss response of image polaritons at the interface of hBN separated with a thin spacer from a metallic substrate (I.-H. Lee et al. 2020) (Fig.5D).

 

Interband Polaritons

Interband polaritons. The matter constituent of these polaritons originates from contributions of the optical response associated with transitions across the energy gap in the electronic spectrum of a material. These include transitions across the energy gap in semiconductors (Stahl 1979) and superconductors or transitions involving mini-bands/flat-bands in moire superlattices of van der Waals materials (Tomadin, Guinea, and Polini 2014; Ni et al. 2015; Hesp et al. 2019; Novelli et al. 2020) (see also Moire polaritons). The frequency dependence of s2(w)xw, where s2(w) is the imaginary part of the complex conductivity, is informative for the analysis of interband polaritons (D. N. Basov et al. 1995; Ni et al. 2015). Spectra of s2(w)xw reveal a series of steps separated by plateaus, with each step uncovering the energy scale associated with separate interband  contributions. In the limit of wà 0, the product s2(w)xw quantifies the spectral weight of intraband processes to the plasmon polaritons. Interband effects play a central role in theoretical proposals for the implementation of population inversion (Wolff 1970), gain and superluminal plasmon polaritons (Low, Chen, and Basov 2018).

 

Intersubband Polaritons

Intersubband polaritons. Dini et al. reported the first experimental observation of the vacuum-field Rabi splitting of an intersubband transition inside a planar microcavity hosting two-dimensional electron gas (Dini et al. 2003; Dario Ballarini and De Liberato 2019). Nonlinearities associated with intesubband transitions in semiconductors can be dramatically enhanced by in hybrid structure with plasmonic metasurfaces (J. Lee, Tymchenko, et al. 2014)(see also hybrid polaritons).

Josephson Plasmon Polariton
Josephson plasmon polariton: an inherent attribute of strongly anisotropic layered superconductors. The matter constituent of Josephson plasmon polaritons originates from interlayer Josephson plasmon in layered superconducting materials such as cuprates (Laplace et al. 2016; Stinson et al. 2014) [Stinson-JPR}. Josephson plasmons are the electromagnetic signature of three-dimensional superconductivity in highly anisotropic layered high-Tc superconductors  (D. N. Basov and Timusk 2005). Josephson plasma waves can be parametrically amplified under illumination with pulsed THz fields (Rajasekaran et al. 2016) paving the way for active Josephson polaritonics.
Kane Polaritons

Kane polaritons: surface plasmon polaritons formed with Kane quasiparticles. Kane polaritons were recently observed in pump-probe experiments on narrow gap II-VI semiconductors (Charnukha et al. 2019).

 

Landau Polaritons

Landau polaritons. The matter component of Landau polaritons originates from cyclotron resonances and transitions between quantized Landau levels relevant in low-dimensional electron gases subjected to high magnetic fields (X. Li et al. 2018; Paravicini-Bagliani et al. 2019). See also magneto-plasmon polariton.

 

Luttinger Liquid Polaritons

Luttinger liquid polaritons: plasmon polaritons in one-dimensional conductors recently revealed by infrared nano-imaging of single- and multiple-wall carbon nanotubes (Z. Shi et al. 2015). Interacting electrons confined in one dimension are generally described by the Luttinger liquid formalism (Luttinger 1963; Haldane 1981).  Anomalous dependence of the plasmonic quality factor on gate voltage was interpreted in terms of plasmon-plasmon interaction in carbon nano-tubes (S. Wang et al. 2020).

 

Magnon Polaritons

Magnon polaritons. The matter constituent of these polaritons originate from antiferromagnetic (Camley 1980; Camley and Mills 1982) and ferromagnetic resonances. In weak magnetic fields surface magnon polaritons are predicted to acquire non-reciprocal properties. Macedo and Camley analyzed the propagation of surface magnon polaritons in anisotropic antiferromagnets (Macêdo and Camley 2019). Sloan et al. predicted that surface magnon polaritons will strongly enhance the spin relaxation of quantum emitters in the proximity of antiferromagnetic materials such as MnF2 or FeF2 (Ref. (Sloan et al. 2019).  Kruk et al. developed artificial structures with hyperbolic magnetic response with principal components of the magnetic permeability tensor having the opposite signs (Kruk et al. 2016). Magnetic materials also support hybrid polaritons, including hybrid magnon-phonon polaritons recently observed in ErFeO3/LiNbO3 multilayers (Sivarajah et al. 2019).

 

Magneto-Plasmon Polaritons
Magneto-plasmon polaritons: coupled modes of magneto-plasmons and THz/infrared photons (Brion et al. 1972; B. Hu, Zhang, and Wang 2015). Theoretically predicted unconventional properties of magneto-polaritons in Weyl semi-metals include hyperbolic dispersion and photonic stop bands (Z. Long et al. 2018). The nano-infrared imaging and visualization of magneto-plasmon polaritons remains an unresolved experimental challenge. Once technical obstacles are circumvented, it may become possible to directly explore both the focusing and the non-reciprocity predicted for magneto-plasmon polaritons (Stamps and Camley 1985). Plasmonic system driven by intense a.c. field is predicted to reveal spontaneous summetry breaking and non-linear magnetism (Rudner and Song 2019).
Microcavity Polaritons
Microcavity polaritons: see cavity polaritons.
Moire Polaritons
Moire polaritons. Atomic layers comprising van der Waals materials can be re-assembled into heterostructures with nearly perfect interfaces (Geim and Grigorieva 2013; Novoselov et al. 2016; Castellanos-Gomez 2016). A unique control knob specific to vdW systems is the twist angle q between the adjacent layers. Varying q forms moiré superlattices that can radically modify the electronic structure and attendant properties (H. Schmidt et al. 2008; G. Li et al. 2010; Sanchez-Yamagishi et al. 2012; D. S. Lee et al. 2011; Sanchez-Yamagishi et al. 2017).  Plasmons, phonons and excitons are all altered in moire superlattices prompting changes of the corresponding polaritons. G/hBN[cross-Ni-Moire].   Infrared nano-imaging data display rich real space patterns of polaritonis with selected examples of moire polaritons displayed in Fig.6. Morie design principle can be applied to epitaxially grown thin films on dielectric substrates (Y. Cao et al. 2016).  Recent experiments on interlayer excitons in TMDC heterobilayers have revealed the trapping of these excitons on the moire potential landscape (K. Liu et al. 2014; Barbier, Vasilopoulos, and Peeters 2010; Woods et al. 2014; Hunt et al. 2013). When placed in an optical cavity, such moire trapped excitons may form an exciton polariton lattice and serve as analog quantum simulators (see polaritonic lattices and quantum simulators).
Molecular Polaritons

Molecular polaritons.  Organic semiconductors and molecules embedded in optical (nano)cavities under strong and ultrastrong coupling promote the dynamical formation of molecular polaritons: hybrid energy eigenstates composed of entangled photonic, electronic, and vibrational degrees of freedom (Javani and Stockman 2016; Herrera and Owrutsky 2020; J. P. Long and Simpkins 2015). Molecular polaritons were demonstrated to enhance energy transfer (Xiang et al. 2020) and DC conductivity (Orgiu et al. 2015). Progress with nano-structures enabled a demonstration of the strong-light matter coupling with a single molecule embedded in a plasmonic cavity (Chikkaraddy et al. 2016). Molecular polaritons enable control of optical nonlinarities via manipulations of cavity characteristics (Xiang et al. 2019). Molecular polaritons can form hybrid polaritons by coupling to surface plasmons (Memmi et al. 2017), for example. We remark that molecular polaritons are commonly reffered to as vibrational polaritons.

Mott Polaritons(QED)

Mott polaritons (QED): non-equilibrium driven states in an array of circuit QED cavities or optical resonators (Henriet et al. 2014; S. Schmidt and Koch 2013). See also polaritonic lattices.

Mott Polaritons (QM)

Mott polaritons (QM) were also introduced in context of the resonant coupling between strongly correlated electrons in solid Mott insulators integrated in a single-mode cavity (Kiffner et al. 2019).

Reflection and refraction stand out as two of the most fundamental optical phenomena. Reflection, the process by which light bounces off objects, serves as the foundation for the design of mirrors and cavities. Conversely, refraction involves the bending of light as it traverses different media, setting the basis for the design of lenses and prisms. Investigating reflection and refraction at the nanoscale is imperative to understand how light interacts with matter and to develop innovative nano-optical devices, the primary focus of the field of nano-optics.

Within this context, polaritons can showcase unconventional optical behaviors, such as anomalous or negative refraction and reflection. Anomalous refraction manifests when light deviates unexpectedly as it traverses different media. Refraction is deemed “negative” if the refracted beam emerges on the same side of the interface normal as the incident one (Fig. 1), offering potential applications in superlenses that beat the diffraction limit of light and enable high-resolution imaging. On the other hand, negative reflection is characterized by light being reflected towards the same side of the boundary’s normal on which it is incident, opening avenues for unconventional optical devices like nanoresonators with high density of optical states or cloaking materials, capable of manipulating light flow to render objects invisible or redirect light around them.

Originally, negative reflection was observed for free-space light reflecting off artificially engineered interfaces (metasurfaces) (Yu et al., 2011; Aieta et al., 2012; Liu et al., 2016; Liu et al., 2018; Gérardin et al., 2019) and chiral mirrors (Zhang et al., 2007), while negative refraction was initially demonstrated in artificial metamaterials and superlattices with simultaneous negative permittivity ε and permeability μ (Shelby et al., 2001; Pimenov et al., 2005). However, these platforms preclude the direct, real-space visualization of the phenomenon, as not only low optical losses but also an adequate material platform are required to guarantee a clear real-space visualization of negative refraction and reflection.

In this regard, polar dielectrics with extreme anisotropy have emerged in the last decade as a highly promising platform for studying anomalous instances of reflection and refraction. Due to the strong lattice anisotropy, these materials can host hyperbolic phonon polaritons in the mid- and far- infrared (mid-, far-IR) (Galiffi et al., 2024). The propagation of such hyperbolic polaritons is highly counter-intuitive, primarily due to the misalignment between the direction of propagation and the direction of the wavefronts. This non-collinearity, together with conservation of momentum (see section “Geometrical optics of polaritons”), allows hyperbolic polaritons to exhibit anomalous refraction and reflection phenomena.

Giles et al. (2016) demonstrated anomalous reflection in nanocones of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), while Álvarez-Pérez et al. (2022) presented the initial visualization of negative reflection of nanoscale-confined polaritons by fabricating subwavelength mirrors in alpha-phase molybdenum trioxide (α-MoO3). They found that the wavevector of the outcoming wave, kr, can be much greater in modulus than that of incidence ki, implying that the reflected wave can exhibit a much smaller wavelength. Based on this, they introduced the design of a nanoresonator for in-plane hyperbolic polaritons, significantly enhancing the intensity.

Furthermore, Duan et al. (2021) reported the visualization of anomalous refraction of polaritons at the nanoscale by fabricating nanoprisms in a substrate underneath α-MoO3. They also introduced the design of the first planar refractive lens for polaritons, achieving a focus size 50 times smaller than the wavelength of the incident light. More recently, Hu et al. (2023) used α-MoO3 with a graphene overlayer to demonstrate in-plane negative refraction of polaritons at the interface, showing gate tunability. Sternbach et al. (2023) employed α-MoO3/hBN bicrystals to reveal negative refraction of mid-IR polaritons for propagation normal to the interface. Zhang et al. (2022) independently studied negative reflection and refraction of anisotropic polaritons from a theoretical point of view.

Phonon Polaritons
Phonon polaritons: is a collective excitation comprised of (infrared) light coupled with a polar lattice vibration. Like other polaritons, phonon polaritons can be understood in terms of an anti-crossing of the dispersion curves of light and matter constituents (Fig. 5). Early observations of phonon polaritons (see Hopfield polaritons) in bulk crystals and films were made using a variety of spectroscopic methods (Faust and Henry 1966; Holmstrom et al. 2012). More recent work (Caldwell et al. 2015) has focused on the generation, detection, and on picosecond polaritons dynamics (Vassant et al. 2010; Planken et al. 1992; Feurer et al. 2007; Kojima et al. 2003; Bakker, Hunsche, and Kurz 1998). By matching the phonon-polariton velocity in LiNbOcrystal to the group velocity of the fs pump pulse Yeh et al. have been able to generate intense THz fields of the order of 10 mJ energy (Yeh et al. 2007). Advanced nano-imaging/spectroscopy methods (HUBER, OCELIC, and HILLENBRAND 2008; A. J. Huber et al. 2008; Govyadinov et al. 2017).were employed for the real-space visualization of phonon polariton standing ways. Phonon-polaritons play a major role in nano-scale thermal transport at nano- and meso-scales (Tamagnone et al. 2018; D.-Z. A. Chen, Narayanaswamy, and Chen 2005; Venkataram et al. 2018; Cahill et al. 2014; Kyeongtae Kim et al. 2015; Thompson et al. 2018; Zheng et al. 2018). Phonon polaritons in the anisotropic oxide material MoO3 reveal both elliptical and hyperbolic dispersions (Ma et al. 2018; Zheng et al. 2019). The dispersion and propagation of phonon-polaritons can be controlled by nano-structuring (Peining Li et al. 2018) and twist-angle (moire) engineering (Fig.6).  The recent discovery of parametric phonon amplification in SiC paves the way for the exploration of non-linear and active phonon-polariton phenomena (Cartella et al. 2018)Surface phonon polaritons (see also Fuchs-Kliewer interface polaritons), reveal a dispersion branch located between longitudinal and transverse vibrational modes (see hybrid polaritons).  Dai et al. detected surface phonon polaritons in monolayers of hBN (Siyuan Dai, Fang, et al. 2019).
Plasmon Polaritons

Plasmon polaritons:  probably the most thoroughly studied class of polaritons. A surface plasmon polariton is a transverse magnetic (TM)-polarized optical surface wave that, for example, propagates along a flat metal-dielectric interface, typically at visible or infrared wavelengths (Zayats, Smolyaninov, and Maradudin 2005; Maier 2007; Gramotnev and Bozhevolnyi 2010). Plasmon polaritons have rich implications for technology (Atwater and Polman 2010; Berini and De Leon 2012; Bogdanov, Boltasseva, and Shalaev 2019; J. Lee, Jung, et al. 2014). Nonlinear (Kauranen and Zayats 2012; Nookala et al. 2016; Tymchenko et al. 2015) and quantum (Z. Jacob and Shalaev 2011; Tame et al. 2013; Bozhevolnyi and Khurgin 2017; Fakonas, Mitskovets, and Atwater 2015; Dheur et al. 2016) properties of plasmonic structures are in the vanguard of current research. Plasmon-polaritons can be controlled at femto-second time scales (Wagner, Fei, et al. 2014; Charnukha et al. 2019; Wagner, McLeod, et al. 2014; MacDonald et al. 2009; Eisele et al. 2014; M. A. Huber et al. 2017),  enabling access to novel physics and applications (Yao et al. 2020; Krasavin, Zayats, and Zheludev 2005). Plasmonic waveguides have been incorporated with light-emitting materials, paving the way for integrated plasmonic and photonic structures (J. Shi et al. 2017). Plasmon-polaritons have been harnessed to implement high-quality factors such as whispering gallery microcavities (B. Min et al. 2009). In parallel, many research groups are searching for new plasmonic media with the properties optimized for different classes of plasmonic effects (Boltasseva and Atwater 2011; Naik, Shalaev, and Boltasseva 2013; F. Xia et al. 2014; da Jornada et al. 2020). Van der Waals materials, and especially graphene, are emerging as outstanding plasmonic media in light of their inherent tunability with different stimuli (see Dirac plasmons). Acoustic plasmon polaritons are a special example of hybrid polaritons whose frequency-momentum w(q) dispersion is predicted to be linear (Hwang and Das Sarma 2009; Principi, Asgari, and Polini 2011; Profumo et al. 2012; S. Chen et al. 2017; Stauber and Gómez-Santos 2012). Acoustic plasmon plaritons have been demonstrated (I.-H. Lee et al. 2019; Pablo Alonso-González et al. 2017; Lundeberg et al. 2017) in structures where graphene resides in close proximity to metallic surfaces. Spoof surface plasmons polaritons were introduced describe plasmon polaritons on the surface of artificial metallic structures and metamaterials (Pendry, Martín-Moreno, and Garcia-Vidal 2004)Airy surface plasmon polaritons are the surface counterparts of non-diffracting airy waves (Berry and Balazs 1979) and have been demonstrated by direct nano-imaging (Minovich et al. 2011)Chiral plasmon polaritons (Hentschel et al. 2017)  were predicted to occur in twisted bilayer graphene (Stauber, Low, and Gómez-Santos 2018).

Plexcitons

Plexcitons are a specific example of hybrid polaritons. The matter constituent of plexcitons originates from plasmon-exciton coupled modes (Vasa et al. 2013; Fofang et al. 2008; Fofang et al. 2011; Manjavacas, García de Abajo, and Nordlander 2011; Yuen-Zhou et al. 2016; Manuel et al. 2019; K. Wu et al. 2013). Historically, plexciton studies have focused primarily on localized states (Fofang et al. 2008; Törmä and Barnes 2015). Propagating plexciton states also exist and offer potential for compact quantum information carriers a well as opportunities for mediating emitter-emitter coupling (Gonçalves et al. 2018; Karanikolas, Thanopulos, and Paspalakis 2019; Chervy et al. 2018). Composite structures and multilayers can feature plexcitons. An interesting recent example of plexciton study has been conducted in the setting of scanning probe nano-optical imaging and spectroscopy (Fig.8). This work by May et al (May et al. 2020) along with a study by Groß et al. (Groß et al. 2018) implemented the scanning optical cavities formed between a nano-optical antenna and the substrate. The authors investigated CdSe/ZnS quantum dots using this scanning cavity approach and observed plexitonic Rabi splitting of 163 meV.

Polaritons Parametric Amplification

Polaritons parametric amplification, gain and lasing have been demonstrated for exciton polaritons in microcavities (Savvidis et al. 2000; Saba et al. 2001; S. Kéna-Cohen and Forrest 2010; Deng et al. 2003).  Resonant coupling between photons and excitons in microcavities can efficiently generate significant single-pass optical gains. Polaritonic lasing has been implemented and analyzed in different material systems hosting plasmon polartions and exciton polaritons (Yuanda Liu et al. 2019). Amplification of demons (Zhiyuan Sun, Basov, and Fogler 2016) has been predicted as well but is yet to be experimentally demonstrated.

Polaritonic Chemistry

Polaritonic chemistry: an emerging field focused on modifying pathways of chemical reactions in molecular systems coupled to photonic cavities (Flick, Rivera, and Narang 2018; Hutchison et al. 2012; Yuen-Zhou and Menon 2019; Flick et al. 2017; Schäfer et al. 2020).

Polaritonic Circuits

Polaritonic circuits, devices, arrays and systems. Both light and matter constituents of polaritons are amenable to controls with external stimuli (Sanvitto and Kéna-Cohen 2016).  The use of exciton polaritons as building blocks for future information processing such as spin-switches (A. Amo et al. 2010),spin-memory (Gao et al. 2012), transistors (D. Ballarini et al. 2013), logic gates (Antón et al. 2013), resonant tunneling diodes (Nguyen et al. 2013), routers (Marsault et al. 2015), lasers (Kavokin et al. 2016) has recently been demonstrated. The first polaritonic systems are also emerging and include quantum simulators and networks for neuromorphic computers (Dario Ballarini et al. 2020). Transition metal dichalcogenide material WSe2, integrated into microcavity devices acts as efficient light emitting device (Gu et al. 2019).

Polaritonic Lattices and Quantum Simulators

Polaritonic lattices and quantum simulators.  A variety of experimental approaches have been utilized to implement one- and two-dimensional arrays of interacting polaritons. In the field of microcavity exciton polaritons gate arrays, spatially dependent optical potential as well as surface acoustic waves (Cerda-Méndez et al. 2010), have been utilized to generate arrays/lattices (Alberto Amo and Bloch 2016). One-dimensional exciton polariton superlattices reveal weak lasing assigned to a novel type of a phase transition in this interacting system (L. Zhang et al. 2015). Arrays of evanescently-coupled cavities hosting neutral atoms (M.J. Hartmann, Brandão, and Plenio 2008) have been proposed as quantum simulators (QS), where the photon blockade provided by the atom limits the occupancy of each cavity to one, allowing for the implementation of the Bose-Hubbard model. QSs require controllable quantum systems that efficiently simulate a Hamiltonian of interest, which may encode phases with a significant degree of entanglement and is not amenable to calculations by classical computer (N. Y. Kim and Yamamoto 2017; Georgescu, Ashhab, and Nori 2014; Cirac and Zoller 2012; Bloch, Dalibard, and Nascimbène 2012; N. C. Harris et al. 2017; Aspuru-Guzik and Walther 2012).  Lattices of exciton polaritons (N. Y. Kim and Yamamoto 2017; Michael J. Hartmann, Brandão, and Plenio 2006; Greentree et al. 2006; Byrnes, Recher, and Yamamoto 2010; Na and Yamamoto 2010; Berloff et al. 2017), have emerged as a promising platform for QS, along with ultracold atoms (Bloch, Dalibard, and Nascimbène 2012; Esslinger 2010), trapped ions (Blatt and Roos 2012; K Kim et al. 2011; Britton et al. 2012), and superconducting circuits (Houck, Türeci, and Koch 2012; Koch et al. 2010). Moire superlattices of plasmon polaritons (Figure 6) present yet another example of polaritonic lattices. Moire superlattices were realized in graphene devices with nanostructured gate electrodes (Xiong et al. 2019) as well as in moire superlattices of twisted graphene layers (Yankowitz et al. 2012).

Polaritonic interference refraction, collimation, front shaping and waveguiding
Polaritonic interference, refraction, collimation, front shaping, and waveguiding. All these common wave phenomena are relevant to polaritons (Figure 9). In van der Waals materials, domain wall boundaries can act a polaritonc reflectors (Bor-Yuan Jiang et al. 2017; Zhe Fei et al. 2017; J. Chen et al. 2013), or conductors (Hasdeo and Song 2017). Zia and Brongersma (Zia and Brongersma 2007) demonstrated Young’s double-slit experiments with surface plasmon polaritonss. Beyond analogs of geometrical optics effects, polaritons offer at least two novel routes for image formation. First, hyperbolic polaritons enable canalization imaging (Belov and Hao 2006), with images effectively transferred by high-momentum subdiffractional polaritonic rays from the back to the front surface of the polaritonic medium (Peining Li et al. 2020; Correas-Serrano, Alù, and Gomez-Diaz 2017; Xian et al. 2019; Peining Li et al. 2015)(Figure 9C). Second, polaritons are amenable to guiding and steering using methods of transformation optics. Polaritonic waveguides have been implemented over a broad range of frequencies from THz (Yang et al. 2010)  and infrared regions to visible light. Peier et al. observed phonon–polariton tunneling across the airgap (Peier, Nelson, and Feurer 2010). Advanced polaritonic launchers and metalenses (Figure 9D) are well suited for defining the trajectories of polaritonic surface “beams” (J. Lin et al. 2012; Epstein and Arie 2014). In highly nonlinear regime polaritons are predicted to display self-focusing effects and to form solitons (Davoyan, Shadrivov, and Kivshar 2009).
Polariton-polariton interactions
Polariton-polariton interactions. The interaction of polaritons stems from their underlying matter constituents. In close analogy with other interacting systems, polariton-polariton interactions renormalize the dispersion and also prompt a blue shift of the emission energy as the polariton density increases (Levinsen, Li, and Parish 2019; Nguyen-thê et al. 2013). Polariton-polariton interaction effects have been recently demonstrated for microcavity exciton polaritons (Y. Sun, Yoon, et al. 2017; Estrecho et al. 2019). See also quantum Hall polaritons.
Polaron Polaritons

Polaron-polaritons. In TMDC monolayers, the itinerant electrons dynamically screen exciton to form new quasiparticle branches — the attractive and repulsive polaron — each with a renormalized mass and energy (Sidler et al. 2017; Efimkin and MacDonald 2017)Microcavity polaritons with the matter constituent linked to these polaron branches are referred to as polaron-polaritons (Sidler et al. 2017).

Quantum Hall Polaritons

Quantum Hall polaritons are a product of coupling cavity photons to the cyclotron resonance excitations of electron liquids in high-mobility semiconductor quantum wells or graphene sheets (Scalari et al. 2012; Pellegrino et al. 2016). The edge channels of the quantum Hall effect offer a platform for probing interference and entanglement effects in the setting of a condensed matter system since the edge states propagation is ballistic, one-dimensional, and chiral. This platform enables experimental implementation of electron quantum optics (Neder et al. 2007; Bäuerle et al. 2018; Splettstoesser and Haug 2017; Glattli and Roulleau 2017) and may be suitable for the realization of flying qubits. In a parallel development, Smolka et al. (Smolka et al. 2014) investigated cavity exciton polaritons in the presence of high-mobility 2D electron gas subjected to external magnetic field and discovered novel correlated electron phases Knuppel et al. (Knüppel et al. 2019) reported on strong polariton polariton interactions in the fractional quantum Hall regime.

Rydberg Polaritons (QED)

Rydberg polaritons (QED): photons dressed by highly excited atomic Rydberg states under conditions of electromagnetic induced transparency. These polaritons can either reside in a cavity or propagate throughout an atomic ensemble.  In a cavity, Rydberg dressing bestows an atomic ensemble with the character of a two-level system: the excitation of a single Rydberg polariton prevents the creation of a second one, in the so-called “Rydberg blockade” regime. Under conditions of electromagnetic induced transparency, polaritons can propagate within an optically-dense atomic cloud. These polaritons can then be made to interact with each other via Rydberg dressing: the first Rydberg polariton alters the transparency condition for the second one, preventing its propagation within a certain “blockade radius” (Lukin et al. 2001; Comparat and Pillet 2010; Gorshkov et al. 2011; Shahmoon et al. 2011). Rydberg polaritons are appealing for quantum logic functionalities (Peyronel et al. 2012) and for realizing synthetic materials via many-body states of light (Carusotto and Ciuti 2013; Clark et al. 2019).

Rydberg Polaritons (QM)

Rydberg polaritons (QM): a special example of exciton polaritons with matter constituent associated with strongly interacting Rydberg states of excitons (Walther, Johne, and Pohl 2018). Candidate systems include TMDC monolayers (Chernikov et al. 2014) and cuprous oxide, where Rydberg states with principal quantum numbers of up to n = 25 are feasible (Merkl et al. 2020).

Soliton Polaritons

Soliton polaritons. Propagating wavepackets in semiconductor micorcavities are referred to as soliton polaritons (Fig.10 C). In quantum optics, topological soliton polaritons refer to composite objects made of fermions trapped in an optical soliton. The prototypical one-dimensional (1D) model of solitons posessing nontrivial topology is the model of Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chains (Su, Schrieffer, and Heeger 1979).  Variants of the SSH Hamiltonian have been emulated in the 1D lattices of microcavity exciton polaritons (St-Jean et al. 2017) and also in the system of quantum emitters coupled to a photonic waveguide (Bello et al. 2019). Topological phases of polritons in cavity waveguides were analysed in Ref. (Downing et al. 2019).

Spin Polaritons

Spin polaritons: this term was coined in the context of polariton microcavity diode lasers operating via injection of spin polarized currents (Bhattacharya et al. 2017).

 

Spin Plasmon Polaritons
Spin plasmon polaritons are relevant to the plasmonic response of spin-polarized electron gas (Agarwal et al. 2014). Alternatively, spin-orbit interaction may lift the degeneracy between the spin states and give rise to transitions responsible for peculiar dispersion features of spin plasmon polaritons (Magarill, Chaplik, and Éntin 2001). The surface plasmon of a helical electron liquid is predicted to carry spin and is also referred to as a spin plasmon polariton (Raghu et al. 2010).
Transformation Optics with Polaritons

Transformation optics with polaritons. Transformation optics refers to a general principle for designing a complex electromagnetic medium with tailored properties by carefully crafting the spatial patterns of the local optical index (Pendry, Schurig, and Smith 2006; Leonhardt 2006). This general principle has been extended to polaritons (Huidobro et al. 2010) and polartonic cavities (Ginis et al. 2012), and specifically to plasmon polaritons in graphene (Vakil and Engheta 2011).  Losses present the most significant experimental roadblock for practical transformational polaritonics. Recent advances with highly confined but low-loss plasmon polaritons (Ni et al. 2018) and phonon-polaritons (Caldwell et al. 2014) fulfill important experimental preconditions for the realization of transformation optics ideas in polaritonic systems.

 

Tamm Surface Plasmon Polaritons

Tamm surface plasmon polaritons are associated with Tamm states at metallic surfaces (Tamm 1932).  Common surface plasmon polaritons are formed with a TM (transverse magnetic) polarization at the boundary of metallic and dielectric surfaces and lie to the right of the light cone. Tamm polaritons are found with both TM and TE (transverse electric) polarizations and their dispersion can be within the light cone (Kaliteevski et al. 2007; B. Liu, Wu, and Menon 2019).

 

Trion Polaritons

Trion polaritons.  The matter constituent of these polaritons is formed by charged excitons or trions (see also charged polaritons). Trion polaritons are commonly found in the response of TMDC semiconductors (Dhara et al. 2018; Emmanuele et al. 2020) and also in carbon nanotubes (Möhl et al. 2018).

 

Tunneling Plasmon Polaritons

Tunneling plasmon polaritons were predicted (de Vega and García de Abajo 2017) and observed (Woessner et al. 2017) in an atomically thick tunable quantum tunnelling devices consisting of two layers of graphene separated by 1 nm of h-BN. By applying a bias voltage between the graphene layers one creates an electron gas coupled to a hole gas. Even though the total charge of the devices is zero, this system supports propagating graphene plasmons.

Valley Polaritons

Valley polaritons. The matter constituent of these polaritons originates from valley polarized excitons in TMDC semiconductors (Fig.4B and exciton polaritons).  The electronic structure of two-dimensional TMDC semiconductors endows this class of materials with the spin–valley degree of freedom that provides an optically accessible route for the control and manipulation of electron spin (Xu et al. 2014; Peng et al. 2020; Guddala et al. 2019).

Vibrational polaritons
Vibrational polaritons: see molecular polaritons.
Wannier or Wannier-Mott Polaritons

Wannier or Wannier-Mott polaritons borrow their matter part from Wannier excitons in semiconductors (Egri and Stahl 1979).

 

Waveguides and photonic crystals for polaritons

Waveguides and photonic crystals for polaritons. Waveguides and photonic crystals allow one to design and control the properties of photons, and thus of polaritons, both in quantum optics and quantum materials. In waveguide QED, different type of emitters (neutral atoms, quantum dots, color centers, superconducting qubits) are coupled to a one-dimensional (1D) optical channels (Asenjo-Garcia, Hood, et al. 2017), such as fibers (Vetsch et al. 2010; Goban et al. 2012), photonic crystals (Goban et al. 2015; Hood et al. 2016), and transmission lines (Mirhosseini et al. 2019; Yanbing Liu and Houck 2017) (Cavity quantum electrodynamics and cavity polaritons and Fig.11 A). Channel with a band gap give rise to atom-photon bound states (i.e., polaritonic bound states) provided the atomic resonance frequency is close to the band edge. Beyond the band-edge, photons are bound to the atoms, forming localized polaritonic cavities that can be harnessed for realizing quantum simulation and quantum information processing (Cavity quantum electrodynamics and cavity polaritons). If the coupling between photons and atoms is strong enough, bound states emerge even if the atomic resonance frequency lies inside the band (i.e., as a “bound states in the continuum”) due to multiple scattering (Calajó et al. 2016; T. Shi et al. 2016). In the field of quantum materials, photonic-crystals structures were fabricated using common phonon-polariton oxide systems LiTaO3 and LiNbO3 (Fig. 11B). Pump-probe experiments in Fig. 11B revealed the key attributes of the dispersion control by these periodic structures.  A significant deficiency of conventional photonic crystals is that they do not allow for dynamical dispersion engineering. Xiong et al. circumvented this limitation and demonstrated a broadly tunable two-dimensional photonic crystal for surface plasmon polaritons [cross-ref-xiond]. Infrared nano-imaging revealed the formation of a photonic bandgap and an artificial domain wall which supports highly confined one-dimensional plasmonic modes.

Zenneck-Sommerfeld waves and Norton waves

Zenneck-Sommerfeld waves and Norton waves: an early example of a guided electromagnetic wave at the interface of media with negative and positive dielectric function Refs. (Zenneck 1907; Norton 1936; Sommerfeld 1909) the same condition that is required for the formation of polaritonic modes in THz, infrared and optical frequencies. The original prediction of Zenneck-Sommerfeld waves pertained to the radiofrequency wave at the interface of air and the earth. In this analysis the surface of the Earth was regarded as a lossy dielectric. The concept of Zenneck-Sommerfeld waves and closely related Norton waves has been applied to a broad class of wave patterns on the surface of metallic (Sarrazin and Vigneron 2005; Sihvola, Jiaran Qi, and Lindell 2010; Michalski and Mosig 2015; A Yu Nikitin et al. 2009) and dielectric materials (Babicheva et al. 2018).
