Rabi Splitting using Gold Nano-Bipyramids and Monolayer MoS 2

Rabi splitting occurs when the exchange of energy between an exciton and plasmon is quicker than their intrinsic dissipation rates. When these conditions are met, the energy of the system splits into two entirely new eigenstates above and below the energy of the original plasmon and exciton. These new energy peaks are called polaritons.
