  abstract     = {{The linear and nonlinear optical properties of semiconductors are strongly influenced by the Coulomb interaction among the photoexcited carriers. Within the framework of the semiconductor Bloch equations such many-body effects can be described on the basis of a microscopic theory. In this article, we briefly review our recent contributions to two specific topics. First, the coherent optical generation of charge and spin currents and their subsequent decay via scattering processes is discussed. As a second example, the spatially-inhomogeneous optical properties of hybrid structures which consist of photonic crystals and semiconductor nanostructures are described. Many of the numerical results have been obtained using massively parallel computer programs which were run on the IBM p690-Cluster Jump in Jülich.}},

  abstract     = {{The band alignment of GaNAs in heterostructures is determined by investigating the energetically lowest optical band-to-band transition of In0.23Ga0.77As/GaNyAs1−y samples with varying y. In a type II alignment this transition is between states located in different layers. Photoreflectance, photoluminescence, and the radiative decay of excited carrier densities are both measured and microscopically modeled. The bandstructure for every sample is computed. Based on this bandstructure all optical properties and the radiative decay are computed using the semiconductor Bloch [1] and luminescence [2] equations including electron-electron and electron-phonon interaction on scattering level. Thus the modeling is consistent and without free parameters. Overall good agreement between theory and experiment is achieved and used to explain all experimental features and to determine the band alignment}},

  abstract     = {{Extreme nonlinear optics denotes the regime where the Rabi frequency is comparable to or even larger than the band gap frequency. This regime can be reached experimentally by using intense ultrashort laser pulses which have a duration of just a few femtoseconds, see, e.g., [1]. As shown in [2] for the case of a two-level system, a theoretical analysis of extreme nonlinear optics requires one to describe the dynamics on ultrashort time scales beyond the rotating-wave approximation. Such calculations describe, e.g., the generation of higher harmonics and Mollow tripletts [1,2]. Here, we use a microscopic model of a two-band semiconductor with Coulomb interaction to analyze the regime of extreme nonlinear optics. It is, in particular, shown that the importance of excitonic effects which are known to dominate the nonlinear optical response at moderate excitation intensities become less important at largely elevated intensities}},
