Polaritons are hybrid excitations of light and matter. Atomically-thin van der Waals nanomaterials—graphene and its relatives—support many kinds of such excitations, including plasmon-polaritons, phonon-polaritons, and exciton-polaritons. I will review the state of the art in imaging, manipulation, and theoretical analysis of these modes.
