D-instanton contributions to the mass matrix of arbitrary excited stringstates of type IIB string theory in the maximally supersymmetric plane-wavebackground are calculated to leading order in the string coupling using asupersymmetric light-cone boundary state formalism. The explicitnon-perturbative dependence of the mass matrix on the complex string coupling,the plane-wave mass parameter and the mode numbers of the excited states isdetermined.Comment: 25 pages, 1 figure. v3: corrected minor typos, added referenc
