A method of generating a light-matter hybrid species of charged polaritons at room temperature includes providing an organic semiconductor microcavity being a doped organic semiconductor sandwiched in a microcavity capable of generating an optical resonance and coupling light to the polaron optical transition in the organic semiconductor microcavity thereby forming polaron-polaritons. The doped organic semiconductor may be a hole/electron transport material having a polaron absorption coefficient exceeding 10cmand capable of generating a polaron optical transition with a linewidth smaller than a predetermined threshold. The optical resonance of the microcavity has a resonance frequency matched with the polaron optical transition.
