17. We use the GaAs LO phonon energy of 36 meV to remain consistent with Ref. 10, however, our experimental data can also be well fitted assuming InAs LO phonons (energy ∼30 meV) with only a small change in the coupling strength to ∼6.5 meV. It is not possible for us to determine the precise nature of the LO phonon component of the polaron from the present measurements.
