particle physics - In what environments can a dipolariton form?


In what environments can a dipolariton form? The article in Science in which it is introduced discusses it in the context of an optical cavity in a semiconductor. Can this quasiparticle occur elsewhere — as a free particle or on the surface or in the bulk of a metal, for example?


A dipolariton is a bosonic quasiparticle that consists of two excitons, one an electron together with a hole, the other an electron together with a photon. I'm asking this question to get a sense of whether a related question that was raised not too long ago makes sense.


EDIT: To be concrete, could a dipolariton form in the context of the system explored in this paper?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
