Polaritons, originating from the interactions between photons and material excitations, have
attracted attention because of their strong field compression and deeply subdiffractional …

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 …

Thin layers of in-plane anisotropic materials can support ultraconfined polaritons, whose
wavelengths depend on the propagation direction. Such polaritons hold potential for the …
