7. For polarization along the growth direction, the fundamental mode of the cavity has the same dispersion as a free photon and a situation similar to that of Ref. [10] would result.

12. The interface and confined phonon modes associated to the multiple quantum well structure may lead to a partial mixing of the b states because they affect the first and last wells differently than those in the middle.
