Polaritons are investigated as quasiparticles formed when light and matter are strongly interacting. The exciton-photon interaction is modeled with the help of a separable potential. The dipole matrix element and the dipole transition rates are calculated and various lifetimes are discussed. Two modes are found whose lifetimes differ quantitatively and qualitatively as a function of the photon frequency. The regime where the exciton decays faster respectively slower than the polariton is determined.
