Van der Waals (vdW) materials offer an exciting platform for strong light-matter interaction enabled by their polaritonic modes and the associated deep subwavelength light confinement. Semiconductor vdW materials such as WSe2are of particular interest for photonic and quantum integrated technologies because they sustain visible–near-infrared (VIS-NIR) exciton-polariton (EP) modes at room temperature. Here, we develop a unique spatiotemporal imaging technique at the femtosecond-nanometric scale and observe the EP dynamics in WSe2waveguides. Our method, based on a novel ultrafast broadband intrapulse pump-probe near-field imaging, allows direct visualization of EP formation and propagation in WSe2showing, at room temperature, ultraslow EP with a group velocity ofvg~ 0.017c. Our imaging method paves the way for in situ ultrafast coherent control and extreme spatiotemporal imaging of condensed matter.

The spatial profile of the transient collisional excitation Ni-like Ag X-ray laser in various plasma lengths was observed using the near field imaging method. The gain region was the size of 50 μm and 30–50 μm distant from the target surface. The shapes of the gain region were crescent shape or consisted of two spots.
