A polariton is a quasiparticle that arises from the strong coupling of light (photons) with a material excitations, such as excitons, phonons, or other collective excitations in a medium. Polariton behavior occurs when the interactions between photons and these excitations are significant enough to lead to the formation of a new type of particle that exhibits mixed characteristics of both light and the excitations of the material.
