This image presents the dispersion relation of phonon polaritons according to a simple theory[1], giving the two following dispersion relations for the coupled optical phonon/electromagnetic field system :
longitudinal optical phonons (LO phonons)
polaritons (transverse em field + TO phonons)
The dashed red curves correspond to the uncoupled modes (photons and phonons: Ω = 0), and the black curves represent solutions of the above equations with parameters chosen to fit the dispersion relation of polaritons in GaP[2], giving
Uncoupled optical phonon frequency
ω0 = 45.4 meV
Coupling parameter
Ω = 61 meV
Electric susceptibility
χ∞ = 7.5
Note that k is very small compared to π/a.
