The interaction of light with solids gives rise to new bosonic quasiparticles, with the exciton being-undoubtedly-the most famous of these polaritons. While excitons are the generic polaritons of semiconductors, we show that for strongly correlated systems another polariton is prevalent-originating from the dominant antiferromagnetic or charge density wave fluctuations in these systems. As these are usually associated with a wave vector (π,π,…) or close to it, we propose to call the derived…
