A "plexiton" is a hybrid quasiparticle that arises from the coupling of excitons with optical photons. Excitons are bound states of electrons and holes in semiconductors, and they play a critical role in various optoelectronic devices. When excitons interact with light in a cavity, they can form new hybrid states that combine the properties of both excitons and photons.
