29. The electrodynamical treatment holds also for the case of strongly bound excitons with the replacement of (Equation presented) in Eq. (5) by exciton oscillator strength per unit area (Equation presented).

31. In fact, (Equation presented) should also include the contributions of transitions spectrally higher than the A exciton in the (Equation presented) layer. The allowance for the dielectric constant as well as for the substrate is straightforward following Ref. [32]. It does not lead to substantial modifications of the results.

33. Note that at (Equation presented) the transitions (Equation presented) and (Equation presented) active in (Equation presented) polarization become symmetry-allowed (but requiring a spin flip). This gives rise to an additional pole in (Equation presented) at the frequency (Equation presented) and can be evaluated following Ref. [32].
