32. Notice that if one calculates the strain-induced LO frequency shifts using the (formula presented) derived from (formula presented) and (formula presented) [instead of the (formula presented) value we deduced from Ref. 29], one would obtain shifts which are typically 25% lower than those reported here (Table II).
