18. In our previous work in Ref. 8, performed on a 1λ cavity with p, n Bragg mirrors but without control of electric field, residual built-in fields led to partial suppression of photoluminescence.

21. Correcting for the strongly energy-dependent transmission factor for double resonance nevertheless leads to Raman cross sections very similar to those presented here.
22. T A. Fisher, Phys. Rev. B51, 2600 (1995). In this reference resonance was maintained by temperature tuning, enabling (formula presented) to be determined directly at each field.
23. It is estimated in Ref. 13 that the maximum coupling occurs for in-plane wave vectors (formula presented)
24. The dispersion in LO phonon energy over this range of k is ∼0.1 meV, less than the experimental resolution, see, e.g., Fasol, Phys. Rev. B38, 6056 (1988).

29. In Ref. 8 the peak at the exciton energy was observed only for incoming resonance and not for the outgoing process.
