The first excited state of the excitonic molecule in CuCl is considered in the framework of the previously derived Bose formulation for the excitonic molecule. A resolution concerning the discrepancies between existing theoretical and experimental two‐photon absorption results is proposed: the first excited (rotational) state of the molecule consists of four irreducible sets: Γ 2 ⊕ Γ 3 ⊕ Γ 4 ⊕ Γ 5 , two of which (Γ 3 ⊕ Γ 5 ) are strongly two‐photon allowed, one is weakly allowed (Γ 4 ) and one is forbidden (Γ 2 ). The three sets Γ 3 ⊕ Γ 4 ⊕ Γ 5 should then be seen in luminescence from the biexciton states to single‐exciton or exciton‐polariton states. A study of the electron‐hole exchange interaction on these states is also made.
