Wigner crystals are prime candidates for the realization of regular electron lattices with minimal requirements on external control and a potential basis for quantum registers or simulators. However, technical challenges have prevented their detailed experimental investigation to date. Here, we investigate two-dimensional electron lattices based on self-assembled Wigner crystals in transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), which provide favorable conditions for the formation of Wigner crystals. We show that they allow for minimally invasive, all-optical detection schemes of charge ordering and total spin. For suitably chosen incident light, we predict a strong dependence of the transmitted and reflected signals on the underlying lattice periodicity, thus revealing the charge order inherent in Wigner crystals. At the same time, the selection rules in TMDs provide direct access to the spin degree of freedom via Faraday rotation measurements. Prospects for the quantum simulation of spin-systems are discussed.
