Possible ambiguous syntax?
editIn the last sentence of the first paragraph, the meaning seems ambiguous. To a non-expert reader, it could be interpreted that a polariton is an electron with an attached phonon cloud OR that a polaron is an electron with an attached phonon cloud. Perhaps this sentence ought to be rewritten as two sentences to provide more clarity. Thoughts?
Comments from Lesotho
editNo questions here, just wanted to compliment whoever took the time to link to the proper references--Fano's early work on this topic. Cheers.Lesotho 18:38, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Ummm...As person with more than a year of college physics, After reading this article, I still have no idea what a polariton is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyclopiano (talk • contribs) 14:11, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
BECs: could someone write something about polariton BECs? Do they really exist? Does the small mass really imply room temperature BECs? Cesiumfrog (talk) 12:31, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Consider for future use: "A new way to make laser-like beams using 1,000 times less power"

- Summary: With precarious particles called polaritons that straddle the worlds of light and matter, researchers have demonstrated a new, practical and potentially more efficient way to make a coherent laser-like beam.

what about phonon-polariton resonance
editI think a section would be relevant. Considering this advancement;http://www.colorado.edu/today/2017/02/09/newly-engineered-material-can-cool-roofs-structures-zero-energy-consumption and http://www.livescience.com/57902-magic-foil-cools-buildings.html Wikipietime (talk) 15:15, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
Examples from Nature Magazine
editExamples of such a dipole include an electron–hole pair in a semiconductor, which forms an exciton polariton, and the oscillating electrons at the surface of a metal, which creates a surface-plasmon polariton. Colinsk (talk) 17:53, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
