Abstract
Here, the authors show that the interaction between microcavity photons and excitons in an atomically thin WSe2 results in a hybridized regime of strong light-matter coupling. Coherence build-up is accompanied by a threshold-like behaviour of the emitted light intensity, which is a fingerprint of a polariton laser effect.
