Retardation effects, theoretically predicted more than 35 years ago, are observed in the spectrum of two-dimensional plasmons in high-electron-mobility GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells. In zero magnetic field, a strong reduction of the resonant plasma frequency is observed due to the hybridization of the plasma and light modes. In a perpendicular magnetic field B, hybrid cyclotron-plasmon modes appear with a very unusual dependence of the frequency on B field. Experimental results are in excellent agreement with the theory.
