We report on the observation by Raman scattering of the strong resonance enhancement of the inelastic light scattering in both II–VI and III–V semiconductor microcavities when the laser energy becomes close to the cavity polariton energy. We discuss which experimental observations can be simply explained within the usual excitonic picture for light scattering or unambiguously reflect polariton mediation. We describe the later within a simple model based on the available theories for bulk polariton mediated Raman scattering.
