  text: Summary form only given. Since the original discovery of the excitonic optical
    Stark effect, substantial progress has been made in the understanding of this
    ultrafast nonlinear optical effect. Recently, a red shift of the excitonic absorption
    line has been reported using low intensity excitation detuned 4.5 meV below the
    1s-heavy-hole (hh) resonance and cross-circularly-polarized pulses. This was attributed
    to higher-order Coulomb correlations, interpretable as bound and unbound two-exciton
    states and memory effects. For co-circularly polarized pulses the well-known blue
    shift was found. Here we present a related effect occurring in the higher-intensity
    regime. Standard pump-probe experiments were performed on high-quality 8.5 nm-thick
    In/sub 0.04/Ga/sub 0.96/As multiple quantum well (MQW) samples.

  text: Summary form only given. When a quantum-well exciton transition is resonant
    with a single mode of a high-Q microcavity the linear reponse of the coupled system
    may be described in terms of normal modes ("cavity polaritons"), which arise as
    a result of the interplay of absorption and dispersion of the exciton transition
    within the cavity. The nonlinear response of these systems has often been discussed
    in terms of "polaritonic nonlinearities". It is desirable to investigate the nonlinearities
    of normal-mode microcavities (NMC's) at the same level and to determine if the
    microscopic theory accounting for the bare-QW response also quantitatively accounts
    for the normal-mode nonlinear response. We report here an extensive series of
    pump-probe experiments, investigating the time-resolved reflectivity of an NMC
    as a function of pump and probe polarization and pump fluence.

  text: Summary form only given. Optical and electronic properties of semiconductor
    heterostructures are strongly influenced by inherent disorder effects. The disorder
    consists of alloy disorder in ternary or quaternary compound semiconductors and
    interface roughness in semiconductor quantum wells. The spatial scales of disorder
    depend on the growth process. The disorder scale has up to now been extremely
    difficult to determine by macroscopic optical experiments. Here, we use excitons
    and biexcitons as mesoscopic probes in coherent excitation spectroscopy (CES)
    to reveal the spatial scale of disorder.
