    Hi tlengman, I am not sure if you are expecting a list as an answer to your question or if you would be happy with just some explained pointers to the relevant literature. Questions asking for a list are not a good idea here, maybe you should adapt the title a bit. – Dilaton Jan 09 '13 at 20:47

    Hi tlengman, and welcome to Physics Stack Exchange! This site is not really a good place for open-ended list questions like the one you're asking. If you can edit it to make a more specific request, I'll be happy to reopen it. – David Z Jan 09 '13 at 20:48

    Okay, thank you for the tips. I'll try to ask questions that are more relevant to the stackexchange model in the future. – tlengman Jan 09 '13 at 21:45
  • I think asking about a recent review article concerning the topic would probably be ok (if you could edit this question) since it would not be asking for a list anymore. If you are done with editing you could ping a mod (with the @) and ask for reopen. – Dilaton Jan 09 '13 at 22:44
  • Thanks @Dilaton, do you think it would be okay to ask if anyone is familiar with the foundational literature? Like the first paper published on polaritons? – tlengman Jan 10 '13 at 05:25
  • I noticed this stackexchange question in the Related panel: http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/6068/list-of-good-classical-physics-books?rq=1 – tlengman Jan 10 '13 at 06:25
  • @tlengman I think asking about (a) very specific reference(s), such as the very first paper(s) published on polaritons should be ok, since reference requests are allowed here. It would probably be a good idea to use the tag "reference-request" instead of "books" in this case. However, not that I have no power to reopen; I can just help agreeing that questions should be reopend ;-) – Dilaton Jan 10 '13 at 10:07
