#Experiments confirm light-squeezing 2-D exciton-polaritons can exist
“#Experiments confirm light-squeezing 2-D exciton-polaritons can exist” Researchers pinpoint the conditions for forming unusual 2D exciton-polaritons in TMDs. Credit: Fabien Vialla Measurements of the optical response of 2-D transition-metal dichalcogenides have now pinpointed real material systems in which a hypothesized light-squeezing quasiparticle can form. The 2-D exciton-polariton, which couples light to bound electron-hole pairs in…
