  abstract     = {{The nonlinear propagation of subpicosecond pulses resonant to the hh 1s exciton in Bragg-periodic
multiple quantum wells is investigated experimentally and theoretically. We show coherent pulse breakup
and its suppression for increasing pulse intensity in good agreement with calculations based on the
semiconductor Maxwell-Bloch equations. For highly nonlinear excitation, pulse compression is observed
which is strongly enhanced by the additional contribution of self-phase modulation in the barrier
and substrate material.}},
