13. Note that the collected light comes predominantly from a region of uniform excitation. This is supported by the measured reduced normal-mode splitting which would otherwise be closer or equal to its low excitation value (Ω V R S = 56 meV) if the light was issued from a region excited well below P t h r.

17. The detuning is set as the energy difference at k= 0 between the position of C and that of MQW excitons. δ values have been derived from temperature-dependent measurements of materials characteristics of the sample.
18. The peak power densities involved in the present work do not alter the refractive index of GaN (no sizeable contribution of the nonlinear Kerr term) so that the position of C remains unaffected. It was also checked that the MQW active region is not subject to screening of the quantum confined Stark effect in the range of power densities used.
