19. The polariton concept is not explicitly introduced in Refs.; however, coherent polaritons are the entity generated under resonant two-photon excitation (see Ref.).

23. If the sample is infinitely thick, the incident IR photons N should be all absorbed and the number of polaritons generated is simply N / 2, independent of I 0 (Z).

28. A platelet of this size can be achieved by lapping a bulk crystal. Smaller node numbers and large mode spacings would require a thinner sample; a promising technology to make thin films showing sharp exciton lines was reported by P. R. Markworth, J. Mater.
