I am seeking references to the first articles regarding the observation of polaritons.

@Qmechanic Yeah, I was asked to change the question and limit its scope. This question is similar, but fundamentally different, and hopefully more appropriate for the stackexchange venue. – tlengman Jan 10 at 17:10
Just to let you know the system, when you are asked to change the question (usually by a moderator, in this case @DavidZaslavsky), you are supposed to edit the original question, you are not supposed to create a new duplicate-like post. – Qmechanic♦ Jan 10 at 19:27
@Qmechanic Oh, okay, thank you. – tlengman Jan 10 at 19:38
@DavidZaslavsky I made this question in order to improve upon my first question, but Qmechanic let me know that I should have just altered the old question. What should I do now that I have made the new one? Should I delete this one or the first one, or just leave them both. They really are very different, they would require completely different answers etc. – tlengman Jan 10 at 19:40

Found something today.

"Actually the concept of polaritons has been described in words as early as 1946 [F. Bloch, Phys. Rev., 70, 460 (1946)] in nuclear paramagnetic resonance, however without using the then still unkown term 'polariton'."
