7. The temperature dependence of spectral position of lower and upper polariton branches has been measured in the temperature range of 5-120 K. In this range the broadening of the exciton line does not influence the polariton splitting. For details see A. R. Pratt, T. Takamori, and T. Kamijoh, Phys. Rev.

13. The Bragg mirror which is passed by the strain wave packet on its way to the QW should result in a ringing of ε (t) at a frequency of about 20 GHz. For a qualitative description of the main experimental results this ringing is not significant and may be ignored
