Electron-hole pairs and hybridisation

Caption

Left: Electron-hole pairs in atomically-thin WS2 on a substrate where dielectric disorder is similar size to excitons. Right: Hybridisation of excitons and photons leads to formation of polaritons in an all-dielectric high-Q optical microcavity, reducing effect of dielectric disorder.
