21. From the numerical results, the imaginary parts of ω for the bound modes are actually very small (10-4 - 10-5 of the real parts).

36. In fact, the exciton eventually decays into free space. Since the coupling to the surface plasmons is so strong, one can roughly neglect the effect from vacuum fluctuations in the regime of t<1/ γ0.
