  text: Femtosecond nonlinear laser spectroscopy is applied to study the dynamics
    of coherent optical excitations in semiconductors. In particular, beat phenomena
    of excitonic excitations in quantum wells and superlattice structures will be
    considered. We will demonstrate that four wave mixing experiments with time resolved
    detection of the nonlinear signal are able to distinguish between quantum beats
    and polarization interference. In addition, we report for a GaAs/AlAs superlattice
    the observation of quantum beats in the photon echo signal. The occurence of these
    beats is attributed to the simultaneous excitation of bound and localized excitons.
