Exciton polaritons from the three uppermost valence bands and the lowest co
nduction band in homoepitaxial GaN are studied by nonlinear spectroscopy. S
econd and third harmonic generation and three-photon difference-frequency g
eneration are used to excite resonances on different polariton branches. Th
e resonances show a characteristic polarization dependence, which is consis
tent with the symmetry assignment of the valence bands. (C) 2001 Elsevier S
